Dario Robleto - The Prelives of the Blues
View video here article here
Dario Robleto reinterprets the meaning of rock, tonight at NOMA
The "Dario Robleto: The Prelives of the Blues" exhibit that opens at The New Orleans Museum of Art... is like a cross between The Da Vinci Code and The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Robleto, a brainy Texas-based conceptual artist, embeds his sculptures with buried symbolic clues so obscure that there's no way we'd figure things out without being tipped off.How could you possibly know that the authentic male and female pelvises in the show were sculpted from pulverized rock n roll record albums, thereby implying the importance of pop music in romance?
How could you possibly know that the silvery drumstick was fashioned from glass produced during atomic bomb tests, thereby symbolizing the brief, explosive life of rocker Keith Moon?
How could you know that the black thread on the spools in the canning jars was really stretched-out audio tape recordings of minor chords, meant to capture a sublime sense of melancholy?
How could you know that those tiny pink seashells had been exposed to hours and hours of Muddy Waters music, meant to … , well, truth is, I forgot to ask Robleto exactly how the delta blues and the seashells add up.
Here come the details.
The “Dario Robleto: The Prelives of the Blues,” an exhibit of music-inspired works by the San Antonio-born conceptual artist opens with a “Where Y’Art” reception from 5 to 9 Friday at The New Orleans Museum of Art, 1 Collins Diboll Circle, in City Park...

Forest Megaphone, Estonia
"Architecture can also amplify the natural noises around us. These wooden ‘Ruup’ megaphones in Estonia’s Võru County were constructed in September 2015 to harness the sounds of the forest. Designed by students and planted amongst the trees, the ‘bandstands’ vary in size and form but, at 3m diameter, they are the perfect size to climb into." -https://thespaces.com/10-buildings-with-extraordinary-acoustics/
