Digital flyers for the upcoming show by St Celfer (John Parker) in São Paulo.
The installation will include a distributed sound composition (sub-tracks of a single large work aimed at the walls via directional speakers) and a performative drawing component (semi-ritualistic mark-making inspired by artist Lygia Clark's notion of "breaking the plane," in this case of the gallery space). The work looks back to the mysticism of Malevich, auf Klint, and Kandinsky while employing the toolkit(s) of the digital noise scene.

In a post 15 years ago I wrote about Parker's work at Front Room gallery in Williamsburg. We have since collaborated on some art and music projects.

tm: this is a very weird space -- a stereographic- or lenticular-like tabletop landscape that "flexes" in sync with pseudo-handheld camera movements
