Michael Dean
(Untitled) out of your eyes
7PM Friday 18th April 2008
The Alessandro De March gallery presents “(Untitled) out of your eyes”, a concert performance by Michael
Dean.
Three movements will be performed at the Alessandro De March gallery as part of an ongoing series of per-
sonal appearances, referred to as Acoustic Mirrors. Here the work of the artist is located temporarily, for as
long as a song, in the body of the artist and the body of the audience.
Writing centres the work of Michael Dean. Written memorials composed to lived intimacies, moments of
intensity and attraction.
Deans work is concerned simultaneously with the composition of writing and the calligraphic, typological
delivery of this writing. One body for another delivers this intimacy into intimacy. Typological bodies deliver
the body of text, be it hand built, spelt bodily, or delivered vocally in space.
This concert is seen as a necessary preliminary in the invocation of a space which will later exhibit the work
of Michael Dean in November of this year.
(The artist would like to thank Franziska Lantz (Percussion) and Francesco Pedraglio.)
