GLYPHS
In the Glyphs series, Gerard & Kelly transcribe fragments of composer Julius Eastman’s handwritten scores onto silk-screened images of dancers from recent films and performances. Captured in glyph-like gestures, dancers shimmer like holograms while musical notations flicker in silver and gold leaf. Eastman’s layered practice of embedding politics within abstraction and combining multiple musical forms is a touchstone for the artists’ own hybrid approach to artistic production.
