Marina Rosenfeld


The installation Music Stands: Free Exercise 7, 8, and 9 by Marina Rosenfeld consists of music stand-like structures and a corresponding set of panels and acoustic devices that direct, focus, obstruct, reflect and project sound in the gallery. Together the components play on the connection between aural and social relations signified by the music stands. An episodic score emanates from the work’s sound system, momentarily interrupting the atmosphere with brief eruptions of electronic sounds and vocality. At the same time, the microphones and loudspeakers subtly amplify the sounds of visitors and mix them with the sound score, heightening their acoustic presence. The installation addresses the possibilities of “staging” sound and speaks to the privileged access of hearing and sounding bodies and the political economy of music-making.


Marina Rosenfeld is a New York-based composer and artist working across disciplines. Since the 1990s, when she mounted her first all-female electric-guitar ensemble under the name Sheer Frost Orchestra, her works have probed the intersections of experimental practices in sound with performance, installation, and sculpture. Rosenfeld has also performed as an experimental turntablist since the late 1990s, creating improvised music with a distinctive palette of hand-crafted dub plates.
