AND Live at Stonehenge 11.11.11.

Research BackgroundThis work investigates the significance of the white cube, through installation and performance to create an environmental super fiction.The exhibition is sponsored by the fictional Diamante Engineering Head office, and included Hancock Recording Studio in the Stonehenge Music Venue. Peter Ellis in collaboration with Dr. Phil Edwards under the name of AND were commissioned to perform an extended sonic work in front of a live audience. Phil Edwards and Peter Ellis have produced over 20 CD recordings since 1999. Dr. Phil Edwards invented the concept of AND to encompass sonic works produced by visual artists in the early 1990's. Research SignificanceRearview is an established Artist's Run Initiative. It has a board of 3 directors who peer review all exhibitions and artists. This group exhibition was curated by Oscar Perry and focuses on contemporary installation practice that is subversive through the questioning of the gallery space. The white cube of the gallery was transformed into a replica of a 1980's hotel, with a performance stage, bar and decorated with band posters and memorabilia and objects on the theme of Stonehenge.Research ContributionThe Stonehenge exhibition featured a live sonic performance of music by AND consisting of myself on keyboards and Peter Ellis on electric guitar and drum machine. The work was recorded and published with artwork in an 11 track, compact disk, titled 11.11.11. Stonehenge. Posters and memorabilia and the AND Discography by Ellis and Edwards were exhibited in the environment. In particular the keyboard playing by myself sought to experiment how accepted historical cliches in musical rthymns act allegorically to reference theoretical art historical periods in time and how these may be redefined thru the deliberate act of anarchic sonic interventions and performance by visual artists.研究背景 本研究旨在探讨白盒子画廊（white cube）的意义，通过装置艺术与行为创作打造环境式超虚构场景。本次展览由虚构的迪亚曼特工程总部（Diamante Engineering）赞助，展览场地涵盖巨石阵音乐厅（Stonehenge Music Venue）内的汉考克录音室（Hancock Recording Studio）。彼得·埃利斯（Peter Ellis）与菲尔·爱德华兹博士（Dr. Phil Edwards）以AND为合作署名，受邀为现场观众呈现一场长篇声音作品演出。自1999年以来，二人已发行超过20张CD唱片作品。菲尔·爱德华兹博士于20世纪90年代初创立AND这一概念，用以涵盖视觉艺术家创作的声音作品。 研究意义 Rearview是成熟的艺术家自主运营项目（Artist's Run Initiative），由3名董事组成评审委员会，对所有展览与艺术家进行同行评审。本次群展由奥斯卡·佩里（Oscar Perry）策展，聚焦于通过质疑画廊空间实现颠覆性表达的当代装置艺术创作。展览将画廊的白盒子空间改造为20世纪80年代风格酒店的复刻场景，设置了表演舞台与酒吧，并以巨石阵为主题布置了乐队海报、纪念藏品与相关展品。 研究贡献 本次巨石阵展览呈现了AND带来的现场声音表演，由本人负责键盘演奏，彼得·埃利斯负责电吉他与鼓机演奏。该演出作品被录制，并与配套视觉艺术作品一同收录于一张名为《11.11.11. Stonehenge》的11轨激光唱片（compact disk，CD）中并发行。展览现场还展出了相关海报、纪念藏品，以及埃利斯与爱德华兹编纂的AND作品唱片目录。尤为特别的是，本人的键盘演奏旨在探索：音乐创作中被广泛接受的历史陈规如何以隐喻方式指代艺术史的理论分期，以及视觉艺术家如何通过刻意的颠覆性声音干预与表演行为，重新定义这些历史范式。
