Interlude Group exhibition / August 27 – September 24, 2022 / Galeria Azur Berlin
Interludes were adopted by a number of bands to create the perfect mood for their albums, and also used by others as a pretext to sound interesting. Several interludes have appeared as “fragments” of other songs on several modern records.
With a beautiful and introspective guitar solo, as in the album Amnesia, the track “Hunting Bears” by Radiohead or “Dear Sister” by The Pretty Reckless which, without losing the huskiness and grunge characteristic of the band, these interludes stand out not only for their duration but also for their lyrics open to a number of interpretations.
These musical passages connect and add contrast to the repetitive sections of verses and choruses providing new musical and lyrical elements. Interludes are not just musical pieces inserted among others of greater importance, they are also intermissions.
GALERIA AZUR is pleased to present ‘Interlude’. In a new narrative scheme, the different pieces suggest intermissions, add variety and rhythm, create tension and relaxation, introduce new ways of interpreting, they provide diverse perspectives and energize a stylistic narrative.
Perhaps, formal choices are presented as arbitrary, some as oneiric forms, others even too earthly or explicit. The truth is that each artwork persuades a time of inner mutation and portrays a bridge that leads to a different path, literal in the exploration or in the perception of contemporary art, so that the viewer is absorbed by the incommensurability of each artwork.
