For Fragments Rochelle Fry is inviting the band Squares and Triangles to work with her on a collaborative project.
Fry who makes sculpture has collaborated with the band on two previous projects. The first collaboration, Bronzed, was exhibited at Five Years in 2009. The Idiot, 2012 took place at The Hockey Gallery, UCA Farnham. In these exhibitions, Fry produced bronze sculptures and images of sculptures as a context in which the band was to create music. Squares and Triangles performed among images of Fry’s work and recorded these ‘contextual sessions.’ The recorded music was then played back in a sculpturally sensitive installation of Hi Fi’s and Fry’s work.
