Gagosian Premieres

Session 3
Friday, July 29, 2022

Laura Ortman
ROSINBOWS

As part of Sessions, a new spin-off of Gagosian Premieres, experimental musician and composer Laura Ortman performs “ROSINBOWS” inside Art in Process: Part One—a survey of works by Nam June Paik spanning his career—at Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street, New York. Drawing on her Indigenous lineage, Ortman distorts the sound of her Apache-inflected violin stylings with an array of effects pedals, looping its output with a four-track cassette recorder to create a new piece of improvised music in response to the exhibition. Expressing an affinity with Paik and the Fluxus movement, she harnesses light and color, technology, and the operation of chance to combine visual, aural, and spatial components into a unified environment.
