Skulpturinstitut: Jim Brown, Robert Schwarz, Black Pages

Jim Brown (James Carrington Brown IV) ist ein amerikanischer Künstler, lebt derzeit in Los Angeles, Kalifornien (US).

“Browns work explores the processes which promote the human psyche to transcend the boundaries which limit its potential. His body of work is unrestrained by medium or a prescribed discipline, although the majority of his work centers around sound. Working in abstract and conventional formats, Brown?s compositions create formulaic patterns to enhance the potential for individual and collective consciousnesses to achieve a state of positive feedback by using sound as the primary stimuli. Other variables that Brown often implements to assist in governing this process are visual and sculptural works which carry a central expression rooted from psychological research that will engage and assist in the transcendental experience. Browns deep involvement with Native American Indian ceremony is highly influential in his work. Jim Brown is the the first person to have been given permission and formal teaching by deconstructionist artist; Raphael Montanez Ortiz, to perform Ortiz’s Piano Deconstruction Concert. Brown first performed the composition outside in an open meadow in the Santa Monica Mountains of Malibu California and then again at the renowned gallery Blum & Poe in Los Angeles California which was curated by artist Dave Muller in part of Muller’s Three Day Weekend performance series / 2 pianos. After receiving great reviews and much attention Brown returned to study with Ortiz in which time the legendary artist instructed Brown to take and make the work his own and move it further in its development. The piano deconstruction performance by Jim Brown at the Skulpturinstitut on July 8 2016 will be the first time that Brown will perform the work with the new constructs in the sound evolution of the original Raphael Ortiz Piano deconstruction concert. On this occasion Brown exclusively invited the Austrian artist Robert Schwarz to electroacousticly extend his performance.”
