NOTIONS OF SILENCE 2. In the trance like ambience of an empty underground car park casual happenings in sound and vision mark the passage of time. Recorded in real time (10mins. 1sec.), this work was filmed on a 35mm stills camera, capturing an almost featureless historical segment of this contrived subterranean space. Our perception of time is distorted by the still image interrupted only by an occasional fluctuation of sound. This video Notions of silence 2 is one of two works which were shown as part of an exhibition entitled Sequence, along with works by Darren Almond, Padraig Cunningham, Roisin Loughrey and Margo McNulty. Notions of silence 1 and 2, were projected on two 16 x 9 screens on facing walls of a disused warehouse. This piece has been influenced by works by Yves Klein’s Monotone symphony, John Cage’s “4’33″,The tibetan book of the dead, Gary Zukov’s “The dancing Wu Li masters”, Barrnet Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock. I envisage this work taken out of the constructed space and projected as a full scale image in a natural environment.

The art of John “Crash” Matos weaves together his roots of graffiti and tagging growing up in the South Bronx with the immediacy of Abstract Expressionism and the bold colors of Pop Art. His career spans over three decades, starting on the subway trains of New York City to renowned galleries across the country and all over the world.
