Trimpin: A Film By Peter Esmonde
Meridian Gallery presents a special screening of Trimpin: The Sound of Invention, a film by Peter Esmonde at the Delancey Street Screening Room. The evening will include a screening of the film followed by a question and answer session with director Peter Esmonde and Trimpin.
TRIMPIN: THE SOUND OF INVENTION is an amusing journey through the sonic world of an eccentric creative genius. Artist/inventor/engineer/composer Trimpin shuns the hype and hyperbole of the commercial art world yet his freewheeling sculptures and outrageous musical experiments are cherished by museums all over the planet.
Filmed over two years, this documentary feature follows the artist/inventor as he designs a 60-foot tower of more than 500 automatic electric guitars; builds an ensemble of huge marimbas that converts real-time earthquake data into music; and collaborates with the Kronos Quartet on an outrageous world premiere featuring toy instruments. TRIMPIN: THE SOUND OF INVENTION will delight anyone interested in the mysteries, pitfalls, and sheer joy of creative experiment.
This event is a benefit for nonprofit Meridian Gallery, a San Francisco art center with an exhibition program, a monthly new music series, and a youth program for low-income inner-city youth.
