EXHIBITION PRESS RELEASE
MUSIC IS A BETTER NOISE
October 29, 2006 - January 29, 2007
Music is a Better Noise brings together musicians who make art and artists who make music, or for whom music is an integral part of their creative process. The exhibition, featured in two parts in P.S.1's first floor Drawing and Painting Galleries, also includes a video program in the Vault. The title of the exhibition is taken from a 1979 song by the English post-punk group Essential Logic, led by teenage saxophonist Lora Logic. Music is a Better Noise is on view from October 29, 2006 through January 29, 2007.
The first part of the exhibition, organized by P.S.1 Curatorial Advisor Nick Stillman and featured in the Drawing Gallery, focuses on New York-based artists/musicians who emerged during New York's remarkable mid-1970s to early 1980s period, and who continue to make music today. Artists included in this gallery are Barbara Ess, Rammellzee, and Alan Vega. Ess, a photographer who has made records with several bands, including Y Pants, the Static, Ultra Vulva, and Radio Guitar, will show a selection of her trademark photographs made with a pinhole camera, as well as a series of new works. Legendary rapper Rammellzee will include a group of his "Letter Racer" tanks made from scavenged trash, a doll representing the artist, and a variety of new works. Alan Vega, who formed the iconic electro-punk group Suicide with Martin Rev in the early 1970s, will unveil a suite of new sculptures from New York City's detritus and discarded junk to accompany works from the 1990s
