Bio:
This is a photo work in homage to two individuals whose works have meant a great deal to me. In 1970 Robert Smithson contributed a piece to a boxed edition of artist's multiples organized by the gallerist Marian Goodman under the label "Multiples, Inc". The box included artists such as Dan Graham, Mel Bochner, Richard Serra and many others from the time. Smithson's piece, Torn Photograph, was an image of construction rubble taken from one of his slideworks, which he had torn in 4 quarters and packaged in a glassine envelope. Steve Reich, the composer, is a friend and has been my neighbor in lower Manhattan for the last decade. There is an early piece of his called "Four Organs" which has had a profound influence on me ever since I first heard it many years ago. The four organs of his piece are now gathering dust in our mutual basement. I've photographed the stacked up organs and have done a similar torn print dedicated to both men.
Lee Ranaldo is an original member of the group Sonic Youth, formed in 1981 in New York City. Recent solo recordings include Music for Stage and Screen, and Text of Light.
