Join us for a live performance by legendary builder of hybrid instruments, Ken Butler Saturday, July 20th at 3PM. Presented as part of the exhibition, “Symbolic Convergence” on view July 13th-September 1st, 2024 at the Front Room Gallery, 205 Warren Street, Hudson, NY.
Ken Butler is a groundbreaking artist known for pushing the boundaries of both visual and musical art. With a flair for the unconventional, Butler's work often combines everyday objects with unexpected elements, creating pieces that are as thought-provoking as they are visually striking. His instruments are not only playable but also serve as commentary on societal norms and human experiences. Created primarily from urban detritus, the hybrid instruments express a poetic spirit of reinvention and hyper-utility with hidden meanings and associations. String instruments become body, tool, weapon, toy, symbol, machine, phallus, creature, sculpture, icon, and voice.
