Sounds Modern - Brazenly Self-Effacing

Some of the greatest new ideas of modern music - minimalism, ambient music, chance music - are brazenly self-effacing. Much like the artists featured in Disappearing - California, c. 1970, modern composers sometimes go to heroic lengths to negate their own identity and agency, often asking that the performers of their music do the same. The works on this concert will reveal the beauty that can emerge when ego and identity are stripped away from the process of making music.

Drawing from the Collection for Children with Deedra Baker and Rachel Livedalen

Two sessions of this free program are offered, one for ages 5 to 8 and one for ages 9 to 12. Each session is led by an artist who takes participants through informal drawing exercises in relation to works in the Modern’s galleries. Children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult during the program. Bring a sketchbook and pencils. Attendance is limited, so early arrival is encouraged. A sign-up sheet is located at the information desk. 2-3:30 pm

Robert Buck

[Art] is a free spot in society, where you can do anything. Chris Burden, as quoted in a press release for Robert Beck / Robert Buck: A two-part presentation, Part 1: Robert Beck: Vestige, Ulterior Gallery, New York, 2018

Jonathan Marshall

Making things is a process by which to explore a universe out of reach, from within the limitations of our finite form. Jonathan Marshall

Austin-based artist Jonathan Marshall investigates historical perspectives and how they relate to a sense of place, conveying his commitment to making and sharing ideas as a means of declaring one’s presence on this planet at this time, what he sees as the thread that has connected the ancient language of art since its inception.

Iva Kinnaird in conversation with Shelby David Meier

Both artists have what I call, at close range, “real artist” DNA. This means they make unexpected and very clever connections and juxtapositions—the kind the average human does not—that shows up in their work somewhere along a spectrum of abject and sublime. Christina Rees, review of Shelby David Meier & Iva Kinnaird: Make Time, Glasstire, October 9, 2016
