An Audio Guide to Varo's 'Harmony'
T01421445026
A playful investigation into the musical potential of natural objects. What does harmony actually sound like? Join artist Holly Rumble as she attempts to investigate the musical clues in Varo's painting Harmony. Remedios Varo was a Spanish-Mexican surrealist painter. Her painting 'Harmony' shows a figure arranging objects on a musical stave, including shells, stones, diamonds, mathematical figures, and a turnip. Holly Rumble will systematically investigate the musical potential of each of these objects, using live pseudo-scientific experimental techniques.
