Summary

• Description from Artscene Vol. 14, No. 2: "[This exhibition is] an installation that resulted from an experimental, creative collaboration between the visual artist Gronk and the composer Joseph Julian Gonzalez. Gronk's installation includes paintings and four tall, wooden chairs that face one other around a square table. When a visitor sits on a chair, it gives forth the music of a violin, a viola, or a cello. From the table issues uninterrupted string music (Dies Irae Xipe Totec) composed by Joseph Julian Gonzalez and recorded by the Kronos Quartet." [p. 5]
