Robin Brailsford: Dear Robin / Love Fred
Dear Robin / Love Fred is the third iteration of Brailsford鈥檚 Chronotopes. The first was a series of glass and found object sculptural installations charting solar movement, light induced visual migraines, (acoustic) sound and (visual) silence in an all metal building she called Cranium. She assembled photographs of the installations into an artist鈥檚 book: Chronotopes: Chronologically @ Cranium. The book elicited a letter from Chappell, deciphering his reading of each of the catalog鈥檚 92 images. In response to his response was the second Cranium installation Fred Chappell鈥檚 Typewriter, consisting of vintage letterforms, dogs, time, flotsam and jetsam. The Red Fred Folio includes Chappell鈥檚 full letter and the resulting temporary sculptural work. Both books will be available for purchase.
Dear Robin / Love Fred features eleven of Brailsford鈥檚 large photographic prints of Chronotope sculptural installations. These are paired with typographic, Bauhaus-like, wall-mounted reliefs of Chappell鈥檚 insights in response. Two panoramas and twelve smaller photos of Fred Chappell鈥檚 Typewriter round out the visuals. Miami-based sound environmentalist Gustavo Matamoros, and alum of Residency #30 1989, will be exhibiting sound installation Chappell鈥檚 Chapel activated by the tone qualities within the voice of Chappell in relationship to the environment and architecture of ACA.
