Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Sonata for Psyche Tattooing: Allegro, Adagio and Allegretto by Robyn Thomas.
Emerging as part of Robyn Thomas's practice-led research in the expression of the multifacetedness of identity through the objects and acts of painting, Sonata is a self-portrayal. Like its musical cousin this physical manifestation of a sonata is brought to life each time it is played through the distinct interpretation of its performer(s) – artist, curators or spectators - in the space in which the work is performed. The performer(s) are provided a basic structure of 84 notes cut from each section of the three movements painted on paper and mounted on birch wood panels to be arranged and re-arranged following the tune resonating between the work and performer(s).
Sonata for Psyche Tattooing: Allegro, Adagio and Allegretto runs through February 17 and is on view at the Adjacent to Life pop-up gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City).
