Dorit Chrysler on Calder Plays Theremin
<p>Recorded at e-flux before the launch of Dorit Chrysler’s album, <em>Calder Plays Theremin</em>, on February 23, 2023. The conversation with Sanna Almajedi is followed by an excerpt from Dorit’s live performance.</p> <p>The album <em>Calder Plays Theremin</em> is a co-release by the NY Theremin Society and Fridman Gallery, and can be ordered on Bandcamp. The album is based on a sound piece commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art in conjunction with the exhibition <em>Alexander Calder: Modern from the Start</em>. For the piece, Chrysler identified two of Alexander Calder’s sculptures, <em>Snow Flurry, I</em> (1948) and <em>Man-Eater with Pennants</em> (1945), to interact and “play” multiple theremins on site.</p>
