WILLIAM LAMSON: Indianapolis Museum of Art

7 April - 28 August 2011

Brooklyn-based conceptual artist William Lamson will exhibit his new sculpture and sound installation in the Efroymson Family Entrance Pavilion at the Indianpolis Museum of Art on the 7 April 2011 - his largest and most ambitious work to date.

For this project, Lamson reanimates a former communications tower by transforming it into a sound-producing object. The tower will be compressed into the space, as if it has been folded into itself, and used as an antenna to receive a weather radio signal that will initiate a series of vibrations within the structure. The sound of these vibrations will resonate throughout the Pavilion at the museum. Through vigorous, often poetic interventions into natural and man-made environments, Lamson forges a captivating and highly unique exploration of forces of nature and the passage of time.
