Philip Glass Ensemble
Benefit for 112 Workshop
Exhibition Description
Philip Glass’s compositions, distinguished by a repetitive-structure and modular-form style, are frequently of extended length. The compositions are designed for the resources of the ensemble: electronic keyboards, flute, saxophones, and voice. The benefit occurred at the Eisner and Lubin Auditorium, donated for the evening by New York University. The program included, Another Look at Harmony, Part 1 and 2.
James Rosenquist designed a poster for the Philip Glass Ensemble Benefit and he contributed a signed edition of the offset lithograph for the benefit of 112 Workshop. The poster is kinetic; a bright blue and red splatter pattern on a pinwheel is snapped to spin and show through dye-cut sections in an oval shape on a darker red and blue splatter field.
