no.233 | Apparition in Formation
Tuesday, 15 October, 2024
This week I am pleased to share a wide-ranging conversion with New York-based painter and musician, Adam Henry who, in a first here at PSO, contributed both the image and the soundtrack for PSO no. 233, Apparation in Formation.Porch Swing Orchestra is an art project exploring the relationship between sound and images. Most images are taken on the site where the sound was created and/or recorded. Our orchestra comprises of birds, guitars, artists, poets, and passing cars that spontaneously create ephemeral symphonic chance-inspired compositions. The original site and hub for all things PSO can be found at porchswingorchestra.org.Adam Henry holds a BFA in Art and Art History from the University of New Mexico and an MFA from The Yale School of Art. His recent exhibitions include solo shows at Candice Madey in New York City, River Valley Arts Collective, in Hudson, NY; The Ice House, in Garrison, NY; Meessen De Clercq, in Brussels, and group shows at SALTS, Birsfelden, Switzerland; Josée Bienvenu Gallery, New York; Rita Urso, Milan, Italy; Dia Horia, Mykonos, Greece; and Bill Brady, in Miami Meessen De Clercq published a monograph on his work from 2011–16. For PSO no.233, Adam has paired an image of his 48 x 60-inch painting with a five-minute soundscape crafted on a 1981 Yamaha synthesizer which we will hear after our conversationWe cover a ton of ground in our conversation ranging from ideas of perception, skateboard magazines, authenticity in painting and punk rock, and publicly crying in contemporary art spaces.
