Scope & Content
File contains records related to the exhibition, Rodney Graham Works from 1976 to 1994, which featured Graham’s installation piece The School of Velocity, a twenty-four hour musical composition that plays on a Yamaha Disklavier. The gallery installed works related to Graham’s work on Freud and Wagner’s Parsifal. The gallery commissioned two new works for the exhibition. A tape of Graham’s Freud lecture and a poster was produced for the performance of Parsifal. In collaboration with students from the UBC School of Music, sections of Parsifal was performed during the exhibition. Graham’s score is a time based elaboration of some bars of Wagner’s music that begins in 1882 and will be complete in 3,969,364,735 AD. Using a computer, a small section of the score was realized in the real/imaginary time of the score. A poster announcing the performances was produced as a limited edition print as a fund-raiser for the gallery.
