Description
To inaugurate Pollyanna Library at 221 E. Georgia, 221A presents Scott Johnson Gailey’s lunch in the meadow (2017), a multitimbral situation bringing together the sonic, the olfactory, the somatosensory, and those intangible elements otherwise felt.
Gailey’s work rezones the library as a scented sound-meadow, whose weird moors give shelter to elements culled from sensory experience and extrasensory objects. From behind a misty, foggy little hill stumbles a cloaked emanation of a cocktail party, a colloquial rainstorm, a blurry YouTube panorama of a discomfiting street, a front-alley entrance to an exhausting party to which nobody has been invited.
lunch in the meadow is commissioned as part of Notes on Permanent Education (N.O.P.E. 2017) in conjunction with SWARM 18
