"Piano Destructions" - Andrea Büttner

Walter Phillips Gallery at The Banff Centre is pleased to present Piano Destructions, a commission and exhibition by Andrea Büttner. Featuring a performance of nine female pianists playing in chorus alongside documentary footage of piano destructions in avant garde art, beginning with early Fluxus pieces, Büttner’s project invites us to consider relationships between practice and repetition, as well as notions of the virtuosic genius. A series of large format woodblock prints made with components from a disassembled piano extend this new body of work by Büttner.

There will be 2 performances on April 10, 7:00 and 8:15 pm. You can purchase your tickets here:
