Sound and visual artist Richard Garet
explores aural and visual spatial-contexts, relational structures,
process, materiality, function, and form. Electrochroma is
an audiovisual experiential installation that will be shown
hourly in a specially built room at Brooklyn’s Invisible
Dog Art Center. The piece is comprised of kinetic light projections
derived from processed 16mm film, and a multichannel sonic
presentation including overtones, textures, and electronic
sounds moving through space that generate physical and psychoacoustic
responses.
Richard Garet Bio
Richard Garet works interweaving multiple media including
moving image, sound, live performances, and photography.
He completed his MFA at Bard College, and was awarded a
New York State Council on the Arts Grant. He currently
has an artist residency at ISSUE Project Room, NY, and
previously completed a residency at Taliesin West, Frank
Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Scottsdale, Arizona
in 2006. Recent exhibitions and performances include: Never
Can Say Goodbye at the former Tower Records Store; Sonochrome:
an exhibition of recent works by Richard Garet, at the
Public Trust Galllery, Dallas, Texas; Leervoll, Diapason
Gallery; and previous exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary
Art (MACBA), Barcelona, Spain; Biennial Museo de Arte de
Puerto Rico, San Juan, Puerto Rico; El Museo del Barrio,
NYC; and more. His sound compositions have been published
through sound based labels such as And-Oar, Non Visual
Objects, Winds Measure Recordings, Unframed Recordings,
Con-V, Leerraum, White_Line Editions, and Contour Editions.
Additionally Garet co-curates with Louky Keijsers Koning,
the monthly performance event LMAKseries, which integrates
film, video, sound art, and media performance into the
gallery's mission at LMAK Projects in the L.E.S, NYC. Garet
also currently directs the independent media label Contour
Editions publishing works that explore the various possibilities
of sound and light. Richard Garet is interested in the
phenomena found and produced in time-based media, and human
beings' relationship with both artificial and natural environments.
His audiovisual exploratory steps are focused on concept
and function, material and process, listening, viewing,
and experience. Even though Garet’s work suits the
standard gallery setting, many of his other activities
as an artist explore the various practices of experimental
sound and video performance. All of these modes are additional
ways in which Garet’s work exposes the audience to
real time explorations of audiovisual processes, emphasizing
the experiential, the sensorial, and the active-reception
of the body and mind. Richard Garet states, “when
creating a piece I reflect on what the work is meant to
accomplish, how it functions in relationship to the space,
how it affects the audience, and how sound and visual content
are connected to one another. These questions determine
my choices and influence the direction of the work.
