| Martin confronts what it would mean, after Pop, "Pictures," and postmodernism, to return to painting and abstraction which, as he writes in an essay on Alfred Jensen, "blaze[s] with the light of a living investigation," a quest associated with what Martin calls the "heroic generation" of Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Myron Stout, and Forrest Bess. Indeed, the power of this production lies in its ability to transport the listener to a hyperemotional plane, something Wilson's vaunted lighting effects - here Vermeer, there Rothko - help engender. Coloured scrims, cued to paintings of Rothko, Klee and Max Bill, will provide a unified street facade, and the disparate blocks will be experienced as a succession of urban events opening off an axial concourse. |
