« Détails et retailles: A Sonic Conversation with Jazz by Matisse » by Claudia Jane Scroccaro
Part of a lineage of artists who have created musical environments for exhibition spaces, Claudia Jane Scroccaro takes on a particularly ambitious challenge: the Jazz series, presented in the exhibition Matisse. 1941 – 1954 curated by Claudine Grammont at the Grand Palais. It is a formidable undertaking (and one involving many “cuttings and recuttings”), which the Italian composer embraces with boldness by transposing the tools imagined by the painter into musical composition.
