World Without Ice- An Installation by Michael Gould, Stephen Rush and Henry Pollack
Michael Gould, Stephen Rush - sculptors and composers
Henry Pollack, Physicist and Photographer
Consisting of hung domes of ice - amplified with contact microphones, as well as accompanied by landscapes of the Arctic North taken by Nobel Prize Winning Physicist Henry Pollack - this is an “installation/performance” piece that helps the audience experience through sight/sound/temperature Ð Global Warming. The ice drips, and is “audiated” and Gould/Rush perform their score to the dripping - on hand percussion, crotales, piano, retro-synths and what-have-you. The result is beautiful, painful, filled with sorrow (for the planet) and joy (the music and visuals are beautiful- even “pretty”). It is an immersive piece in the Duderstadt Video Studio.
This performance is a prelude to our ArtPrize entry for the Fall of 2014 in Grand Rapids.
Free - no tickets required
