GARY SETZER
Integrating video, live music, and performance art, I metaphorically parallel the division between air and land with the division between language and its meaning. These works reveal both the poetry and gracelessness of straddling the language/meaning divide. This merger of process-oriented art and electro nu-wave music delivers a nerdy audiovisual spectacle that recalls Bruce Nauman and Joseph Beuys as much as it does Devo.
SUPRALINGUAL/
SUBLINGUAL: THE TONGUE IS THE TERRAIN
Gary has toured his new performance work, Supralingual/Sublingual: The Tongue is the Terrain across the United States. With stops in New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Denver, New Orleans, and Austin (among others), he provided gallery audiences with what the Huffington Post called "a phenomenal hybrid of his own, integrating video, music and performance." Born and raised in Ohio, Setzer currently lives and works in Tucson, AZ where he is an Assistant Professor of Art at the University of Arizona.
Released in 2012.
