Painter Pim Piët and composer Anna Mikhailova have been cooperating on their Pulsar-project for some years now. In Stroom’s Ondertussen (Meanwhile) series they give an update.
You can look at and listen to a musical performance and
there’s a gorgeous book by Piët which could read as a simple musical score. Piët’s style
– reminiscent of explanatory scientific illustrations of the nineteen seventies – is
quite lyrical in spite of its minimalistic looks. In his
wall painting, integrated in the presentation, the dots could represent the bleeps produced by the pulsars.
You can also see Piët at work. And generally
there’s a lot of music in the air, or rather
in the cosmos.
