(night)

Night holds the paradox of being both a time of intimacy and an unknowable expanse of darkness - both small and vast. Stephanie Cheng Smith’s interpretation of James Tenney’s postal piece, For Percussion Perhaps, Or… (night), sets a table with everyday objects—bowls and marbles—then sends them into motion to build a celestial sonic world. This month’s art print postcard is by movement and dance pioneer Simone Forti, who was good friends with James Tenney. Simone created her work Night, a vegetable print with acrylic on paper, as a response to James’ score and Stephanie’s performance.
