On November 7 and 8, 2009, Victor Beltran, Peruvian modern artist created 4 original artworks, while perched on a scaffold with four other artists, as the Bach Choir of Pittsburgh performed a world choral premiere of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition arranged brilliantly by director, Thomas Douglas. Beltran demonstrated his unique ability to conceptualize artistic images of vibrant colors and abstract shapes, reflective of the choral musics tones and rhythms. The audience gazed as Beltrans paintings emerged from the blank canvas, stroke by stroke, there was an evolution of new born works of modern art.

“Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made. (I try to act in that gap between the two.)”
– Robert Rauschenberg, 1959

Elegy for Robert Rauschenberg is an homage to an artist who was my personal hero, and my nemesis, in my student years. He was my hero because of the infallibility of his touch, and the constancy of his ability to invent and re-invent the potency and power of visual art — to push the boundaries of what art could be. He was my nemesis because I saw him as pure genius and his every gesture as perfection — conditions that were not, I thought, possible for others to attain. But my joy and delight in his work continued and my pleasure in talking with him from time to time over the years was enormous.

Curated by Paul Schimmel, Robert Rauchenberg: Combines was shown in early 2006 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. On seeing it there, and upon learning that there were no plans to film it, I asked Bob for permission to do so at the next venue, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

This elegy is dedicated to the memory of Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) and to the memory of his friendship with my late husband, Earle Brown (1926-2002), whose music has been intertwined and juxtaposed here with images of the glorious Combines.

Elegy for Robert Rauschenberg has been created from footage filmed by Art21 at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles during the 2006 exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg: Combines. Among the works seen in whole or in part are Minutiae (1954); Interview (1955); Monogram (1955-59); Canyon (1959); Gift for Apollo (1959); Black Market (1961); Empire II (1961); Pantomime (1961); Ace (1962); and Gold Standard (1964). The video is set to music composed by Earle Brown who, along with Rauschenberg, was a member of a small group of friends in the 1950s that included John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Morton Feldman, Jasper Johns, and Christian Wolff, among others. In the spirit of that long-ago friendship, and in the collaborative spirit of that time and group, excerpts from the following works by Brown have been selected and collaged, with permission of The Earle Brown Music Foundation, for this video: Music for Violin, Cello, & Piano (1952); Octet I (1953); Folio and 4 Systems (1954); String Quartet (1965); New Piece (1971); and Special Events (1999).

One of Indias most prominent contemporary artists, Subodh Gupta works in a wide range of mediums, including painting, installation, photography, video and performance. He is perhaps best known for his large sculptures constructed from dozens of stainless steel and copper utensils, which translate the conceptual art format of the readymade into a rich exploration of everyday life in India and shifting notions of artistic and economic value. Born in the predominantly rural state of Bihar in central India — renowned as a traditional centre of Buddhist learning — Gupta now lives in the rapidly growing city of Gurgaon, a satellite of New Delhi. His works draw upon the everyday products and materials of Indian village life, such as milk buckets, cow dung and kitchen utensils, and often reference utility, travel and mobility — evident in his bronze cast sculptures of motorbikes, taxis and bundles of luggage. Gupta will present several major sculptures in APT6, including Line of control 2008, an enormous mushroom cloud formed from brass utensils, shifting an image of destruction into one of explosive abundance. Through his seductive use of materials and interest in spectacle and excess, Guptas work reveals the contradictions and tensions that exist in India today as it fluctuates between tradition and modernity, rural and urban life, and poverty and wealth. Experience the buzz of the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT6) opening weekend at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and Queensland Art Gallery (QAG), Brisbane, Queensland, in December 2009. Two days of artist talks, discussions, in-conversations and artist performances.
