PawnShop presents Solo Solo, the first installment of a series of exhibitions at the gallery presenting a singular artwork chosen by an invited curator.
Opening reception: Saturday 19th January 2008 6-8pm
January 18 - February 24, 2008
Vincent Honoré has selected Hannah Rickards’ installation, Thunder (2005).
For Thunder, Rickards records a single clap of thunder and stretches it from eight seconds to seven minutes. The resulting sound is transcribed into a musical score for six instruments (flute, trumpet, trombone, cello,
viola, and violin) performed, recorded and reduced back to its initial length of eight seconds.
PawnShop debuts London based Hannah Rickards to the US. Thunder was commissioned by Media Art Bath, UK. Previous presentations of Thunder include: South London Gallery, London (2006), Witte de With Contemporary, Rotterdam (2007), European Kunsthalle, Cologne (2007) and Gallery Johann König, Berlin (2007).
Vincent Honoré is an independent curator and writer based in Paris, formerly curator of the Palais de Tokyo, Paris and Tate Modern, London.
