LACMA AND KCRW UNVEIL BIG EMPTY COUNTRY (LACMA EDIT) BY BRIAN ENO AND BEATIE WOLFE TO THE MUSEUM'S NEWLY OPENED DAVID GEFFEN GALLERIES
Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and KCRW presents Big Empty Country (LACMA Edit), a special LACMA edit of Big Empty Country by Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe, taken from their album Lateral and created specifically the museum's newly opened David Geffen Galleries and its Zumthor-designed bench along the Wilshire Boulevard overpass. The piece transforms the act of sitting and observing into a listening experience. Designed to accompany the movement of the city just beyond the museum, the piece invites a moment of pause where sound, architecture, and the rhythm of Los Angeles converge. Subtle and immersive, it becomes part of the environment itself, offering a contemplative counterpoint to the constant flow of Wilshire Boulevard.
“An art gallery is a place you go to have feelings and inhabit other possible worlds. For us, this piece of music feels like a place, a new land we could imagine living in. Any piece of art is a world in microcosm and we’re grateful for the chance to share this one with the visitors to LACMA, to offer them a chance to pause here.”
