Event
Litany
'Litany' is an immersive multi-video projection installation created by Erin Elyse Burns that explores mental imagery inspired by composer John Cage's 1980 vocal work entitled 'Litany for the Whale'. The Cage piece has a call and response structure written for two voices reminiscent of religious chants.
Jeremiah Cawley will be in Seattle from London to perform the John Cage score within the video installation at A Project Space. During the live performance Cawley will respond to his own voice which was recorded in a 15th century London cathedral.
The video installation imagery draws on winter in the Northwest and analogies of the mind during meditation. It complements the sound through a series of vignettes and visual pairings that build upon each other including steam, fog, smoke, whispers, screams, light and line.

A Project Space
www.aprojectspace.com
A Project Space offers a unique alternative to the traditional artist residency, providing the artist both studio and exhibition space. It is the only venue of its kind in Seattle, where artists have an opportunity to present work at an opening exhibition, continue to experiment and develop ideas and at a closing reception show work in progress or a resolved exhibit. Artists are encouraged to invite the public into the space during their residency to view the evolution of their work.
A Project Space allows both the artist and the audience the possibility for an intimate, immediate, and engaging interaction with the artist's work in the environment where it was created.
