Keny Marshall on “Apophenia”
January 29th, 2007 Posted in SPACE, Visual Art, Media Art, Cultural District, SculptureLast December, ARTSINPGH talked with artist Keny Marshall about his exhibition, “Apophenia,” at SPACE, an art gallery in Pittsburgh’s Cultural District.
Described by Adam Grossi in Pittsburgh’s City Paper: “The heart of Apophenia…is a fantastic contraption titled “electro-acoustic experiments.” The heart of this contraption is a pair of small puffer fish. Skittering around in a large glass bowl via the surprising strength of their tiny fins, they constitute the show’s only organic, living and unpredictable elements. Through an artful and intricate employment of technologies, the fish moving through their enclosed environment become composers of a strange and lovely symphony of reconfigured brass horns, attached to tall bellows and arranged throughout the gallery.”
