IMMA New Galleries 31-March – 27 June
Morton Feldman, my new love! Knew very little about this contemporary American composer before this exhibition. Feldman was closely associated with the progressive art of the New York School in the 1950′s and 1960′s. Works from these painters are on exhibition including Piet Mondrian (standing in front of his paintings, I felt like a child coming face to face with their favourite pop star I almost wept!), Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko and others.
On opening night we were treated to a percussive performance of his work in The Chapel. I found it absolutely intriguing. I have since found other pieces including piano pieces that I have been playing in the studio while I work. Creativity in sound.
I highly recommend the exhibition. Some of the most important works that you are likely to see in IMMA this year. Of course I may go to another exhibition next week and fall in love again!
