As part of the Wratislavia Cantans festival, Agata Zubel presents Spray, a work performed entirely with spray paint cans.
Agata Zubel’s Spray is a virtuoso work performed entirely with cans of spray paint and a variety of accessories, including spatulas, brushes, cardboard and sandpaper. The audience is invited into the heart of an artist’s studio, and witnesses a fascinating ballet of painters, orchestrated with the precision of a goldsmith. The score combines sounds, movements and six large images that gradually appear on the blank canvases. Thus, in addition to a masterfully realized soundscape, six pictorial works are born before the audience’s eyes: the composer “uses a work of art to create another work of art”.
