Elegy for Robert Rauschenberg has been created from footage filmed by Art21 at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles during the 2006 exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg: Combines. Among the works seen in whole or in part are (1954); Minutiae (1954); Interview (1955); Monogram (1955-59); Canyon (1959); Gift for Apollo (1959); Black Market (1961); Empire II (1961); Pantomime (1961); Ace (1962); and Gold Standard (1964).
The
video is set to music composed by Earle Brown who, along with
Rauschenberg, was a member of a small group of friends in the 1950s
that included John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Morton Feldman, Jasper
Johns, and Christian Wolff, among others. In the spirit of that
long-ago friendship, and in the collaborative spirit of that time and
group, excerpts from the following works by Brown have been selected
and collaged, with permission of The Earle Brown Music Foundation, for
this video: Music for Violin, Cello, & Piano (1952); Octet I (1953); Folio and 4 Systems (1954); String Quartet (1965); New Piece (1971); and Special Events (1999).
