Full Description
Simultaneous Soloists is an artist's book emerging from British installation Anthony McCall's (born1946) exhibition Solid Light Works, and is based on the accompanying performance series Four Simultaneous Soloists, organized by David Grubbs, which took place within the exhibition. The title refers to four soloist performers experienced individually or as an ensemble, alongside McCall's sculptural volumes of light. Simultaneous Soloists recounts these events through a dialogue between McCall and Grubbs discussing a decade of working together.
Also included are interviews with the 16 musicians, writings by art historians Branden W. Joseph and Swagato Chakravorty, and images ranging from McCall's drawings and archival materials to photographs of the exhibition. It features interviews with Susan Alcorn, MV Carbon, Maria Chavez, Che Chen, Jules Gimbrone, David Grubbs, Sarah Hennies, Eli Keszler, Okkyung Lee, Miya Masaoka, Christopher McIntyre, Tomeka Reid, Ben Vida, Yoshi Wada, Nate Wooley and C. Spencer Yeh.
