About this project
A Grand Gift for a Unique City
From the salvaged remains of a decrepit Creole Cottage, the Brooklyn-based artist Swoon has re-imagined a permanent, interactive sculpture for the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. We call it the Dithyrambalina. It will look like a house, but it will function like a musical instrument. A growing group of local and national sound artists are working towards interactive instruments that can be built into its walls and floorboards so that visitors can bring the house to life through their touch. Ultimately, musicians will be invited to play the house, performing orchestrated works at block parties for their friends and neighbors. This project is for the love of New Orleans - its architecture, music, culture and its people.
Swoon has designed the look of house and we have formed coalitions with everyone from architects to salvage suppliers. The next phase of our project is to create instrumentation for the house. This Fall our sound artists will publicly test their prototypes in a temporary installation we are calling The Music Box - A Shantytown Sound Laboratory.
Why Build A Musical House?
Even before the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans had been afflicted by huge numbers of run down properties and abandoned lots. These tragic symbols are the backdrop of city-wide dysfunction, but they are also the tableau in front of which New Orleansโ rich musical and visual heritage parades and performs. This project is an imaginative attempt to redress the futility of this blight by finding within it vast resources of salvageable materials. By turning our salvaged construction into a music box that is free, public, and playful we are inviting the wider community to imagine and participate in a new landscape of potential and possibility.
Your Support
Kinetic sound artists from New Orleans and across the country are coming together this fall to build The Music Box, A Shantytown Sound Laboratory. This is our testing ground for singing walls, organ floorboards, and percussion triggered by the human heartbeat.
Your support will directly benefit these artists who need time and money to develop their ideas. Interactive, mechanical art can be finicky and we need to get it right before we build the house. Our sound laboratory will be a place for collaboration, imagination, and public exploration. It is an important next step in realizing Swoon's vision of a musical architecture.
This campaign goal will help fund the prototyping of instruments for the house, but don't stop the pledges coming. We still have a house to build!

For sale is Girl from Ranoon on Wood by Swoon. I'm looking for offers of ยฃ2500 ONO
The piece is pasted on painted woodwood, and hand finished with gold detailing.
I bought it framed direct from BRP (her publishing gallery) and have COA from them.
For those who aren't familiar with her work she is in the permanent collections of a number of public institutions including MOMA, the Brooklyn Museum and the Tate.
The piece is very gf/wife friendly which is why i bought it...and why i'm getting rid of it 
and framed (sorry for crap pics)

Swoon ๐บ๐ธ Contemporary Art โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by eschiff on Aug 23, 2011 19:03:50 GMT 1, hi, thanks for all your messages! Didn't know how this was going to be received but seems you all like it like i do 
Arty - it's a hand coloured screenprint pasted onto wood. Hope that helps.
to answer the common questions:
The piece is 44 x 46 cm.
I'm not really interested in trades at the moment but you can always try me.
2500 is not set in stone, happy to work with people.
I'm in london so would be easiest to deal with someone here, if not, happy to ship thought as it's on wood shipping would be a bit expensive.

feel free to make an offer, don't have a specific artist in mind anymore, but would like something that's either an OG or very small run rather than an expensive print.
