a spirituality that. has the possibility of really to give somebody else energy as well as well as myself so that all about energy ok let's take a look this is from an exhibition you did in france is called constellation scores . ok so that was a 3 d. lithograph collage obviously look different with the glasses that you've had on and it would take you were reading it like a music score very much into the graphic score in a graphic score tradition so it's something i enjoy to do and for this particular

set of works the 3 d. there's been so much done with print work and graffiti and these things i was trying to figure out a way to pull coal the stuff off the wall without doing the actually pulling it off the wall would feel in your one theme in your work is this idea of synesthesia of the right senses bleeding into each other can you hear your pictures i mean usually i don't have i don't have said these are but i've been working for years through the mel that you've lived in brazil for 7 years while you were there you added some rain forest sounds in general is that you also add in a lot of computer sounds to the dimensions let's have another sort was in syria are you playing with a group called the south paolo underground. so

you lived in sao paolo you've lived in chicago for the last years there you've been living and a small isolated town in the texas desert is called marfa and this is not your average texas town is it no i mean it's a town basically you know that was the military for a while when the war was over. him and disrepair and one of my favorite artists of all time donald judd a writer falls into the minimalist category of artists i guess for some people he had a vision of having permanent installation of his works light. minded works so his r. and b. are from there really pulled me into this small town and i played a chicago underground do a show there 10 years ago and just fell in love with the place now you new albums are just brought out a trilogy of new albums called the marfa trilogy how does living in

a place like marfa texas in the middle of nowhere i think the nearest airport is 3 hours away how does that influence your work in these albums but what's so dynamic about the area not only is that it in the middle of the desert close to the mexican border. it's the dynamic of the of the town itself with with the artists. visually literature poetry books. of film it's a very dynamic community this way and it's always somebody i mean it's. a residency for about or something else and we're showing something that's just fascinating and very briefly i believe you're starting you're trying to start of more of a music scene there since there's such a big visual arts you know we're going to few things that we started thing called the desert and crips which we did last year and that's one of the one of the new releases for this year this year we did desert encrypts 2 which included our chad teller on drums fantastic drummer from the chicago underground and the unfair
