Featured as part of Frieze, New York, Keren Cytter presents Constant State of Grace, a commissioned Frieze Sound project wherein the artist presents a minimalist composition intended to elevate the souls of its listeners, producing a state of near-hypnosis. Aligned with her time-based practice and exploration of social reality through storytelling, the composition traverses the realms of reality and fiction to produce deconstructed dialogues, both absurdist and profound. Existing in complete contrast to the high-energy of the fair, Cytter’s audio piece allows for a moment of reprieve and self-awareness amongst the cacophonous crowd.
Curated by Cecelia Alemani, Frieze Sounds is a program of sound works highlighting three specially commissioned audio works. Participating artists in 2014 include Cytter, Cally Spooner, and Hannah Weinberger.
