Details
Included in the exhibition is a series of fifteen unique variant wooden head sculptures painted over in oil pigment titled Chorus. The works in Chorus are simplified versions of motifs Schneider deals with in his greater sculptural practice. Each head is made using the same series of cuts with a chainsaw, but each one inherently forms to be different from the next. The result is a group of sculptures that appear to be singing in unison.
Says Schneider: “[This series] was inspired by the idea of the Chorus present in ancient Greek tragedies and comedies, a group on the sidelines, usually in masks, who comment with a collective singing voice on the dramatic action. It also relates to the ‘chorus in my head’ involved in everyday decision making, decisions in the studio and around my practice.”
