The Wittgenstein Suite
27 February - 23 March 2013

Thirteen pop songs stemming from philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein make up the core of artists José León Cerrillo and Saralundén’s collaborative musical performance. The lyrics are based on elements of Wittgenstein’s book Bemerkungen über die Farben (Remarks on Color 1950), and were written between 2009 and 2012. In tandem with Wittgenstein’s theoretical investigations on the ways one can speak about color and transparency, the performance series is constructed around shadows and projections, and with music as an abstract form.
