ARE YOU A DANCER?: A Sound Installation By LG Williams / The Estate Of LG Williams

Music has always played a central role in LG Williams / The Estate Of LG Williams work, providing them with a means of examining how human beings exist in the world, how they communicate or fail to communicate, how they move about or fail to move about. For Are You A Dancer?, Williams has selected the most popular local pop/dance radio station from all of the world’s existing radio stations to create an aural installation in the exhibition space. Removed from its original context, the music becomes an incantation or not, an invitation to dance, taking on new meaning as it compels the listener to make a choice, a decision: Am I a dancer or am I not a dancer? To dance or not to dance?

Are You A Dancer? also draws on Williams fascination with anything that might pay and the ways anything can alter our behavior and self-awareness — well, yes, mostly the former: another get-rich-quick scheme for the artist to net some desperately needed cash. The exhibition space has been organized so that visitors encounter ‘bands making music’ that never ceases day or night. No other physical changes have been made to the space. Sound becomes a sculptural material in itself, one that orchestrates and measures and compels its audience. Are You A Dancer?

Are You A Dancer? is filled with pop dance music, clearly audible, which merge with space and ‘found’ sound from the voices of visitors trying to talk over the loud music. In Are You A Dancer?, Williams has transformed this cavernous space into a metaphor for the entire known universe, presenting an endless dance of life — currently on sale during the holidays in an edition of 6.
