SOUND, SPECTACLE, AND SITUATION AT AN EXHIBITION –
UMF Art Gallery, University of Maine Farmington
In 1874 Modest Mussorgsky composed Pictures at an Exhibition, a solo piano work capturing in music—sound—a viewer’s experience at an exhibition of paintings by Viktor Hartmann—image. Mussorgsky accomplished this by composing short movements for ten of Hartmann’s paintings, each rendering a sonic response to the visual. Between each movement is the Promenade that captures the (walking) viewer’s changing experience of the painting just seen and the expectation of the painting to come. This call requests work in any form that uses music as a point of departure to generate a response, challenge, variation, or remix across modes or mediums. This exhibition accompanies the Trustee Professorship of musicologist and pianist Steven Pane, who is also open to collaborative projects.
