Alright then you specimens...
this posting is very close to my ventriculo esquerdo (as my spanish cat friend would say). Experimental is what this blog is mainly about and so we pull back that layer of flesh to show the origins of creative image and sound making...
The Hirshhorn Museum in Washington is showing a Visual Music exhibit. The works range from abstract paintings to experimental films. There are over 90 works of about 40 artists. The pioneers of experimental animation,the likes of Fischinger, Lye, Hirsch, Richter and the Whitney's, are shown here. So get out of your drawers and tubes and run, walk or creep to see it. This exhibit is on until early september but if you can't make it there, here are the links to go check it out...
