Now showing for free – at two venues: Haunch of Venison Yard and St. Olaf’s College – Tooley St. ( or what used to be the College) [ Adjacent to Tower Bridge Rd, London, SE1 2JR – nearest tube is London Bridge]
The Love/Death: Tristan Project is a twelve piece collaborative project featuring the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. The exhibits range from large scale video projections with sound to small, silent flat screen panels.
Considered a pioneer in video art, Viola is represented by the James Cohan Gallery in New York, as well as Haunch of Venison in London.
His video installations at the SF MoMA ( San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) can be still found as online exhibition features here.
“Viola’s work looks at birth and death, time and human experience. He is said to draw elements of religion into his work and has studied mysticism, Sufism, Kabbalah and Zen Buddhism.”
Much of the work in this latest show comes from material produced for a recent production of the Wagner opera Tristan and Isolde.
The Haunch of Venison Group are an international art group representing contemporary art, based in Zurich.
The exhibition is running till the 2nd of September
