LOUVIERE & VANESSA: Resonantia
Resonantia
LOUVIERE & VANESSA
September 4 - October 24, 2015
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Resonantia encompasses 12 photographs that pointedly capture the changes in traveling compression waves, depicting the 12 basal notes of music. Their evolving concept of crossing the sensory barrier further led to the conversion of photographs into otherworldly soundscapes. Louviere + Vanessa’s multidisciplinary approach came full circle by re-visualizing all 12 photo-tones in the form of spectrograms. This artistic fusion encourages visitors to reconsider the experimental possibilities between sound and photography and to reflect on the transformation of the normally invisible.
Their harmonic exploration across photography and music translates into audible imagery that unifies the visceral senses of the time-based medium sound and the space-based form of photography.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Named in Oxford American’s 2012 “Superstars of Southern Art,” Louviere + Vanessa have had recent solo exhibitions at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the Polk Museum of Art. Their work is collected in public and private collections including George Eastman House; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Washington and Lee University; Ford Foundation; and the Pitt-Jolie collection.
