Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Concert for a Fly (Chamber Music)

Concert for a Fly (Chamber Music) is a historic installation, first exhibited in 1986 in Switzerland at the Neue Galerie, Dierikon, then in 1992 at the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art and at the Kölnisher Kunstverein, Cologne. It forms part of an overall series of ten installations, where each represents a character. Exhibited in the gallery’s 18th century Ely Room, the work, with a musical arrangement by Joseph Morag, is given renewed relevance. Emilia Kabakov states that this installation: ‘is about a person who cannot escape fears, problems, the oppression of everyday life. We do hope that today, in London, despite all the fears and innuendos of politics, this work, being so poetic, will be accepted once again and enjoyed.’

In the centre of the room, a paper fly hangs from the ceiling. Twelve empty chairs and music stands are arranged in a circle around it. Each stand holds a white sheet with colourful drawings and Russian texts, translated into English. Some also include musical scores. Everything seems to point towards the immobile fly, which acts as a focal point, directing our gaze upwards and orchestrating our movements. A continuous sound of classical music surfaces from an undefined source. It contains abstract notes, conjuring the viewer into a state of anticipation, as if waiting for a concert to begin.

A fascination with the parasitic nature of the fly and its corresponding anthropomorphic qualities has long gripped the artists; the fly is a reoccurring character and concept throughout their oeuvre. For them the concept of the fly is as volatile as the fly itself. Concert for a Fly (Chamber Music) is an example of a ‘total installation’, a term coined by Ilya Kabakov. Art historian Oskar Bätschmann, in the artists’ catalogue raisonné, describes these as encyclopaedic constructions that can be entered, inviting and tempting the spectator to become an active participant. Even if the space is completely occupied by the installation, the viewer is left with a sense of illusion and lingering feeling of void. This hovering state is a recurring theme throughout their work.

London has been of critical importance for the Kabakovs: ‘When The Palace of Projects was shown at the Roundhouse organised in 1998 by Artangel, we were told that in this complex neighbourhood we should expect some objects to be vandalized. Instead, people started to leave money and written notes for the “homeless person”. The Palace of Projects was exhibited five times in different locations and never was there as much compassion and empathy as in London. The House Of Dreams at the Serpentine in 2005 saw an even more emotional public that had a very personal response. We are therefore very much looking forward to show Concert for a Fly (Chamber Music) alongside the retrospective opening at Tate in October 2017.’

While their work is deeply rooted in the Soviet social and cultural context in which the Kabakovs grew up, their work has achieved universal importance. Their large-scale projects include the Russian Pavilion of the 45th Venice Biennale in 1993, documenta IX Kassel, Germany in 1992 and Monumenta 2014 The Strange City at the Grand Palais, Paris.

Elizabeth Peyton

Elizabeth Peyton, nacida el 20 de diciembre de 1965 en Danbuty, Connecticut, Estados Unidos. Actualmente con cincuenta y cuatro años. Pintora contemporánea conocida por sus retratos a pequeña escala de característica íntima, retratando tanto amigos, como celebridades y figuras históricas. Más que en describir a alguien, se interesa por los sentimientos y las pinceladas. Sus obras muestran a las personas y el cómo han influido en su vida, fueran estas cercanas, o figuras públicas con las que nunca ha tenido contacto. El título de las obras suele ser el nombre del modelo, en excepción a los personajes históricos, en los cuales no añade el apellido. Peyton solo retrata personas que han creado un cambio en su entorno, tenga esta persona una trascendencia mundial o simplemente personal. Se propone a borrar las fronteras que separan a las celebridades de las personas corrientes, llegando incluso a simular unas imágenes de personas de fama dándonos la sensación de estar viendo algo mucho más cercano. Estudió en “School of Visual Arts” en 1993 y se graduó en BFA.
