have produced an interesting audio essay by Teju Cole inspired by the above
Jacques-Louis David double portrait of Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and his wife on
display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The 17 minute audio file can be
loaded and listened to on your ipod when you go to the Met to see the painting.
The audio was produced as part of FICTION & NON-FICTION SOUNDWALK
FROM:
Soundwalk Collective, the New York- based group of sound artists, collaborates with Crossing the Line to produce a free downloadable audio-guided walk along Museum Mile.
The audio recording features commissioned anecdotes inspired by a building, object, or place in the neighborhood and written by French writers, Olivier Cadiot, Philippe Claudel, and Camille Laurens, and New York-based authors Teju Cole and John Giorno.
The walk takes listeners, using their MP3 player, into the authors’ worlds and on a journey—real or imagined—to the source of the inspiration. The spoken texts, available in both English and French versions, are supported by original music and sound design created by Soundwalk.
