Frequencies the curatorial debut of the Brooklynbased artist and musician Jordon Schranz is about connectedness, about being cool, getting it together, working it out. Frequencies is a scene, a community. Frequencies is an experiential and holistic exhibition which extends outside the physical bounds of the gallery referencing both “public art” and “life as art” movements. It questions the artist-viewer vs. musician-audience relationships, and thus the cognitive division between visual art and music, gallery and rock venue.

The gallery interior will be visually and functionally converted into an experimental music club; and, additionally, over twenty performances will take place within and outside of the perimeter of the gallery space throughout the month, further blurring the division between staged performance and living art. These additional venues, including Goodbye Blue Monday, Cakeshop, Glasslands, Free103.9 Project Space, and Raven’s Den will serve both as galleries and as concrete manifestations of the intangible music community.

Each of the participating artists were chosen because they are performing musicians; they contribute to the music community (run a label, run a venue, photograph bands, act as VJs during performances); or their artwork focuses on either the music scene or `musical subject matter’ (love, lust, youth, desire, ambition, heartache, heart-break, life, death, and rebellion). Frequencies is Jordon Schranz’s curatorial debut, which was inspired by the culmination of experiences and people encountered during five years of touring and performing within the avant-rock and free-jazz scenes. He owes much to his partnership with artist/musician Marie Evelyn, and to Steve Trimboli of Goodbye Blue Monday who helped greatly in the conceptualization and creation of this show.
