Ineffable (I Did Not Know the Green), 2010 - 2011
From the series: Supralingual/Sublingual: The Tongue is the Terrain
Supralingual/Sublingual: The Tongue is the Terrain, is a new performance by visual artist, Gary Setzer.  Integrating video, live music, and performance art, Setzer metaphorically parallels the division between air and land with the division between language and its meaning.  The surface of the landscape is the literal seam between the atmosphere and geosphere; as such, it becomes host to a range of metaphoric activity revealing both the poetry and gracelessness of straddling the language/meaning divide.  Setzer posits himself here, merging electro nu-wave music and process-oriented performance art to deliver a nerdy audiovisual spectacle that recalls Joseph Beuys or Bruce Nauman as much as it does Devo.  Click here for more information, or video samples.
