Jun 22 - Sep 29, 2013 Reception: Fri Jun 21 7pm
Parallel to the show Brenna Murphy and her duo MSHR will perform at Salon des Amateurs,
Grabbeplatz 4 on June 19th at 9 pm.
The computer-generated works by the American artist Brenna Murphy (born 1986) recall the
psychedelic motifs of the hippie era. Often only available online, they are oriented on
traditional folk art as well as its naturalistic, spiritual approaches, which the artist translates
to the present day through her experimental exploration of digital possibilities. The
importance of the seemingly infinite expanses for Murphy, the constantly improving graphic
programmes and the resultant, continuously expanding artistic room for manoeuvre cannot
be underestimated. Self-built musical instruments, sound installations and arrangements as
well as individual recordings of music in addition to the linking of folkloristic customs with
modern digital techniques are likewise at the foreground of her creative artistic process.
