Images show production and installation shots from the Morris & Helen Belkin Gallery (Vancouver, 2000); Oboro (Montreal, 2001), and Open Space Gallery (Victoria, 2002) along with performance images with Lori Freedman playing in the quartet to create a quintet.
QUARTET For The Year 4698 or 5760 is an interdisciplinary sculptural project consisting of:
- a gallery installation with four 16mm film projectors, audio and a large cylindrical screen;
- live performance of musical improvisations by Lori Freedman playing the bass clarinet;
- computers that produce a digital translation of all Quartet installation (including ambient/public sounds) written in music notation, printed by a dot matrix printer onto paper and displayed in the gallery;
- a web piece on the Internet.
An exhibition catalogue was published by Open Space Gallery, Victoria, 2004.
