Program note:
There was a recent NYTimes article about an Eva Hesse show at the Hauser & Wirth in NYC. The title of the article was "These Sculptures Changed What Art Could Be, Then Changed Themselves." It described how the five works on display were very different from what they looked like back in the late 1960's when they were exhibited at MOMA, the Guggenheim, Leo Castelli, and other museums. One of them, "Expanded Expansion," for example was originally "off-white" and it is now in an orange-brown amber color.
I immediately was fascinated and went on a research spree on her and her work. On Amazon I bought a huge two-volume book of all her paintings and sculptures. And I also bought a book of diaries that she kept from 1955 to 1970. I then decided that I should write a string quartet inspired by her work.
The work is in eight movements, each one with a title from her sculptural works.
1. Oomamaboomba, 1965 ... Moderato
2. Interlude I: C-Clamp Bues. 1965 ... Largo
3. Metronomic Irregularity, 1966 ... Presto TRIO
4. Interlude II: Addendum, 1967 ... Adagio
5. Repetition Nineteen III, 1968 ... Poco andantino
6. Interlude III: Accretion, 1968 ... Largo
7. Expanded Expansion, 1969 ... Allegro TRIO
8. Postlude: Right After, 1969 ... Largo funebre.
