Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller: Opera for A Small Room
Sunday July 19, 2009 at 12:00pm
Carnegie Museum of Natural History
4400 Forbes Ave
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213 Get Directions
This collaborative exhibit introduces visitors to the quirky world of a man named R. Dennehy, the owner of a collection of opera records that the artists purchased at a second-hand store in British Columbia, Canada. The installation, which Cardiff and Miller describe as "a small room for the opera of Dennehy's life," features a structure filled with records, lights, and other knickknacks. Visitors can peer into the ramshackle room through holes in the walls, but are not able to enter it. Music pouring out of 24 antique loud speakers permeates the gallery, echoed by the rhythm of pulsating lights. The music, record players, and lights become the "actors" in this theatrical and durational work that conveys a dramatic and individual narrative portrait.
