How To Feed A Piano at Centre A
Performance: Friday, May 16, 8 pm
Exhibition: May 17 - 24, 2008

A Project by David Khang with Candice Hopkins
Hank Bull and Joomi Seo on piano
Curated by Makiko Hara

“How To Feed A Piano” is the final installment of a performance tryptich based on La Monte Young’s Compositions 1960 conceptualized by David Khang.

A piano on stage will be “fed hay and water,” while accompanied by the pianists. The piano then becomes the portal through which the artist encounters a horse. The horse, the horserider, and the artist become one “drawing” unit on a large canvas, a gesture that deliberately evokes Yves Klein’s Anthropométrie (1960). The horse is led, not by a classic “Marlboro Man” cowboy, but rather, an experienced First Nations horsewoman – in effect, an “Indian Cowgirl.”

Island Developments, a complex-sounding collaboration between Vancouver artists Brady Cranfield and Jamie Hilder, is an installation project made up of an architectural model, video and archival documents involving the language of Esperanto, geography, Robert Smithson, a children’s choir and a library.
