Ralph Lemon and Jim Findlay: Meditation
Tickets & Info
Installed as a companion piece to Scaffold Room, Ralph Lemon and Jim Findlay’s immersive sound and moving-image installation freely associates themes of love, loss, and redemption through a curious and meandering interplay of color and monochrome, shadow and light, ambient noise and a dance hall track. Meditation was previously shown at the Walker with Lemon’s major 2010 performance piece How Can You Stay in the House All Day and Not Go Anywhere?, and it entered the collection in 2011.
Meditation is presented in the McGuire Theater on a continuous loop.
