Drift (Lee Ranaldo & Leah Singer, 2005)

Gigantic ArtSpace [GAS] is pleased to present DRIFT, a collaboration between musician/poet Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth and visual artist Leah Singer. This exhibition features a one-hour installation version of DRIFT, an immersive sonic/visual environment consisting of music, sounds, and texts by Ranaldo in response to Singer's dual projection 16mm analytical film system. The exhibition also includes collaborative and individual works on paper, films, and sound works. DRIFT has been performed live in museums, galleries, concert halls and performing arts centers worldwide since 1991, most recently at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art as part of the Robert Smithson retrospective.

A DVD and 112-page, full-color book, published by Gigantic ArtSpace [GAS], will be released by Plexifilm in November 2005.

His books include Lengths & Breaths, Jrnls80s, and Road Movies. Visual works from the HWY SONG series, made from deconstructed acoustic guitars, have been shown at the Hayward Gallery, London, The Sydney Musuem of Contemporary Art, and the Vienna Kunsthalle.

DRIFT is a collaboration started in 1991 between visual artist Leah Singer and musician and poet Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth. DRIFT is an immersive sonic/visual environment consisting of music, sounds and texts by Ranaldo in response to two 16mm analytical film projectors performed in real time by Singer. Much as a DJ scratches a vinyl record, Singer manipulates her films in a live improvisation with Ranaldo's guitar, poetry and soundscapes.
