CONTACT |
Tcherepnin. |
|
|
|
Stefan Tcherepnin (b. 1977) is a Brooklyn-based visual artist, composer and musician. His work often |
|
employs music and performance in conjunction with sculpture, painting, video and architecture, taking the |
|
form of installations that convey multiple narratives. He frequently collaborates with other artists and from |
|
2007-2011, he was a member of the art action collective, Grand Openings. Alongside artist Josef Strau, |
|
Tcherepnin initiated The Metaphysical Store and Narrative Gallery in various iterations, including at |
|
Paramount Ranch (LA), Übersetzungsbuero (Berlin), Frieze London and The Liverpool Biennial. He has also |
|
composed scores for two musicals, in collaboration with artist Ei Arakawa and writer Dan Poston. Paris & |
|
|
Wizard: The Musical (an adaptation of the eponymous novel by Seth Price) was premiered in 2013 at |
|
|
MoMA, and How to DISappear in America: The Musical in 2016 at the Berlin Biennial. Tcherepnin |
|
|
collaborated with artists Emanuel Rossetti and Tobias Madison to create Drip Event (2013), an immersive |
|
|
composition/installation that included weekly flooding of upper floor of The Power Station. The resonating |
|
|
ounds of water dripping through the ceiling into the main gallery were later recorded and employed on a |
|
|
double-LP, which in turn became a catalog for the exhibition and debut record of their band, Solar Lice. |
|
|
|
|
|
Tcherepnin frequently works with composer, Wally Blanchard, who has composed soundtracks to all of |
|
|
Tcherepnin’s films, including Learning Movie (2014), Forgetting Movie (2016) and The Mad Masters. |
|
|
A recording of Tcherepnin’s 2018 performance alongside Swiss pianist, Marianne Schroeder, of Maryanne |
|
|
Amacher’s Petra (1991) for two pianos, was released by Blank Forms Editions in 2019 to critical acclaim |
|
|
The debut recording of his band, Afuma (with Taketo Shimada), is forthcoming on the same label. Tcherepnin |
|
|
s also one half of Swedish psych-skate-jazz duo, PSST (with Paul Sigerhall), whose album Real Gospel was |
|
|
released on PTRoleum records earlier this year. |
|
|
|
|
|
Tcherepnin has had recent solo exhibitions at the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Freedman Fitzpatrick |
|
|
(LA), Galerie Francesca Pia (Zurich) and Real Fine Arts (NY). His forthcoming solo exhibition at Kunsthalle |
|
|
Zurich will open in fall, 2019. Tcherepnin is represented by Galerie Francesca Pia and Freedman Fitzpatrick. |
