RK Design: “Polymetric” Exhibition @ Murphy Hill Gallery[CHICAGO]

Show Statement....

 

The name of the show “Polymetric” is taken from the term used by some writers to describe West African drumming. This term immediately alludes to the multiplicity of the music which it describes and it also serves as a fitting metaphor to exemplify the array of styles, personalities, and “non linear dynamic” that defines the RK design collective. As author John Miller Chernoff acknowledged in his book, “African Rhythm and African Sensibility” (1979), “You should attempt to hear as many rhythms as possible working together yet remaining distinct.”
