Arrangement for a Silent Orchestra

Julie Comnick

Arrangement for a Silent Orchestra is a painting and video project that explores the gradual dissolution of culture in contemporary society through the symbolic ruin of a personal and cultural icon, the violin. Using the violin as a metaphor, Prescott artist Julie Comnick raises questions about the relationship between increasing technology and diminishing cultural heritage. She invites the audience to consider what makes the instrument precious in his or her own experience and the impact of its loss.
