Ursula Nistrup: Pink Pillars in DAC’s passage
Exhibition
Sep 7 - Oct 21, 2018
Ursula Nistrup: Pink Pillars (2016–2018) ran in Autumn 2018 in DAC’s passage, featuring three stone-like pillars with an accompanying sound work inspired by the “musical” granite columns at the Vitthala temple complex in South India.
Nistrup’s three stone-like columns are sculptural depictions of the unique “musical” columns from the Vitthala temple complex in South India that omits sounds when struck by hand. A sound piece played around Nistrup’s columns, and on September 27 the columns formed the backdrop for a performance by the musician Sonia Labianca.
