MARK STEINER & PAVEL CINGL
with special guest ROSIE WESTBROOK
performing live music in support of New York based Norwegian visual artist IRENE CHRISTENSEN's exhibition of "CONCERTINAS"
Friday 6. December 2024
ONE STAR LOUNGE & GALLERY
Mark Steiner is a Norwegian-American musician, producer and gallery director who delivers dark music with his Czech violinist Pavel Cingl.
Special guest musician Rosie Westbrook will also perform some songs with the traveling duo, as well as some of her own compositions, including "Bird," which was first inspired by one of visual artist Irene Christensen's "concertinas" (aka accordion books / Leporello books) during a past artist residency in Oslo, Norway.
IRENE CHRISTENSEN (visual artist)
The soul, path and purpose of an artist are often most vividly expressed in their most elemental works. A creator in many media, Irene Christensen has chosen a musical metaphor for a series whose substrate and process allow her to record and present her vision of the experience of life in a spontaneous, temporally-based form.
“Concertinas” are works in ink on paper distinguished by Christensen’s choice of the Leporello book as her substrate-one sheet of fine paper bound between 2 covers and folded, accordion style (called a Concertina fold after the musical instrument), to close like the uncut pages of a book. The inherent musicality of the book, as well as its portability, fuel the artist’s choices.
Christensen marks the first 2 frames of each book in keeping with a seed of inspiration that spurs the new piece. Folding them back, she works as ideas, emotions and experience continue to flow and dance onto the pages, 2 at a time. Remarkably, given their thematic and visual coherence when extended, only after the final page is filled does she view the entire book and work on it as the unified piece that, from the very beginning, was waiting to be born.
The folding also presents the artist with an intriguing option in an exhibition like this one-she can fold back certain pages and expose others, orchestrating our experience of the works. This adds an element of mystery to engage us, especially when the initial sheets are hidden. As we ponder what may lie beneath, we insert our own lives into a dialogue with Irene and her work, and her experience becomes our own.
