Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TERENCE HANNUM
Don’t Give Up The Ghost
b/w The Badge of Punishment
February 28 – April 5, 2008
Light & Sie is proud to present the solo debut of Chicago-based multi-media artist, Terence Hannum. Working concurrently in video, painting and sculpture, Terence’s themes focus on the transcendence and impermanence of sound and performance, and the group catharsis experienced by those who surrender to them.
Hannum writes: “Witnessing a music performance, performing music and listening to recorded music enter the realm of ritual. They are all sacrificial acts, for the performer and the audience. In an era where the physical presence of the recorded object is vanishing, I find it all the more important to focus on its trace. These objects occupy aural space with their contents but also occupy physical space. While the recorded object is the document, the relic; the live event is the ultimate channelization of noise, as well as the place of immediate surrender to it. In the live event, with its group catharsis, the mesh of noise, bodies and heat; I choose to focus on the documentation of these performances.”
For Don’t Give Up The Ghost, Terence will present the world premiere of “The Badge of Punishment,” a two-channel video installation featuring the band, Prurient. In addition, Terence will also present new paintings, sculpture and drawings.
For more information, please contact Andrew Sie or Scott Hilton at 214-745-2255. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12 until 5 PM.
