Marcia Bassett + Nancy Storrow: Drift/ Scatter/ Settle

December 13th, 2020 at 4:00 & 4:30 PM

A.I.R. Gallery, 155 Plymouth St, Brooklyn, NY

A.I.R. Gallery is proud to present Drift/ Scatter/ Settle, a collaborative music response by Marcia Bassett to movement and altered placement of drawings in Fragile, an installation by Nancy Storrow. 

Artist/musician Marcia Bassett works in areas of sound, improvisation and visual creations. Bassett's work is equal parts trance and critique. Her sound pieces thread the needle between the conceptual and the sensual, between ritual invocation and cold semiotic gaze. Using handmade electronic instruments, prepared guitar, synthesizer, field recordings and tape explorations, Bassett deftly wields philosophical systems to produce heady, experiential clouds; pushing through drones into provocative soundscapes – the intangible narratives of dreams. 

Nancy Storrow has been an artist member of A.I.R. Gallery since 1982, and has had 12 solo exhibitions and has been included in many group exhibitions. She has exhibited throughout the United States and in Europe. Recent exhibitions include Next Stage Arts Project, Putney, VT; Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, Brattleboro, VT; Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Steinhardt Conservatory Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; and Konsthallen, Sandviken, Sweden, where she gave a Gallery Talk. One of her drawings was selected for the Wall Program and frontispiece of program booklet for Yellow Barn Music, Putney, VT. Her work was reproduced for the cover of Clockhouse Journal, Vol. Seven, Goddard College, 2019. Her exhibition Edgeland was reviewed in Artscope Magazine, 2018. She is currently working on a Beethoven Project with Yellow Barn Music.
