ARTIST: STEVE RODEN
TITLE: FORMS OF PAPER
CATALOG: LINE007
EDITION: 500
Forms of Paper was originally created for the "Art in the Libraries
Exhibition" and installed in the Frank Gehry designed Hollywood
branch of the Los Angeles Public Library in August, the work was
created with the quiet space of the library as a major consideration,
amplified at a very low volume level. All of the sounds in the
composition are the sounds of book pages being handled. This cd
version has been expanded and re-worked into a one hour composition.
Roden says of the CD "I imagine the work as something of a folded
piece of white paper sculpture; where shadows, folds, and light
enable one to see not only the white of the paper, but a full
spectrum of grays as well."
Steve Roden is a visual/sound artist from Los Angeles. His work,
including painting, drawing, sculpture, film/video, and sound,
combine conceptual strategies and intuitive movementsÐfound
structures and systems lifted from their original intentions and used
as the basis for improvisation and abstraction. In the sound works;
objects, architectural spaces, and field recordings, are abstracted
through electronics to create audio new spaces or "possible
landscapes" concerned with subtlety and the quiet activity of
listening. The Wire (UK) recently referred to Roden's cd The Radio as
"a particularly modest form of genius" and listed it in their "best
of 2000" for experimental releases.
Since 1986, Roden has exhibited his visual/sound installations and
performed his works live internationally, including recent exhibits
at the UCLA Armand Hammer Museum (LA); the MAK Center for Art and
Architecture (LA); the Drawing Center (NYC); the Jennjoy Gallery
(SF), Kunsthallen Brandts Klaedefabrik (Odense, Denmark); Podewil
(Berlin, Germany) to name a few. Roden has released CDs on such
labels as Trente Oiseaux (GERMANY) Sonoris (FRANCE); GMBH (FRANCE);
Digital Narcis (JAPAN) Meme (JAPAN) and on compilations. In 1999 he
co-edited the publication "Site of SoundÐof Architecture and the Ear."
