Rachel Mason‘s new body of work presents a nonlinear play based on several fictional characters she is developing in tandem with a new body of sculpture. The project will take a variety of forms- a series of videos, live performance and public interventions exploring human psychosis through rock songs. Mason most recently completed a musical feature film, “The Lives of Hamilton Fish” and she is a resident at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
Mason has written three operas, recorded ten full length albums of songs, and has toured, screened films, exhibited sculpture, video and performance at galleries and museums internationally. She often collaborates with other musicians, dancers, actors, and other artists to realize large scale multi-media experimental works. She has exhibited and performed at the Queens Museum, Detroit Museum of Contemporary Art, School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Henry Gallery in Seattle, James Gallery at CUNY, University Art Museum in Buffalo, Sculpture Center, Hessel Museum of Art at Bard and Occidental College, Kunsthalle Zurich, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, The New Museum, Park Avenue Armory, Art in General, La Mama, Galapagos, Dixon Place, and Empac Center for Performance in Troy among other venues. www.rachelannmason.com
