Visualizing Mahler
Visualizing Mahler is a cooperative Boulder County wide project to enlist visual artists, including painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramicists, fiber artists, etc., to create a work of art inspired by the music of Gustav Mahler.
Mahler's music is so expressive of the unanswerable questions of life that it stimulates visual images and emotions in listeners. The project asked individual artists to express their own imagery provoked by Mahler's music. Mahler himself wrote "What is most important is not in the notes." Since Mahler was closely connected to the artists of the Secessionist period of cultural enrichment at the turn of the 19th century, and since we interpret his music as having a broad relationship to the other arts and life itself, it seems fitting that this project asks artists to illuminate what his music means to creative
people of today.
The Colorado MahIerFest provided recordings of Mahler's 1st Symphony and
Songs of a Wayfarer for artists who wanted to participate in the project. The
resulting artworks are on display in locations throughout Boulder County for
various periods. Please call the locations to get hours they are open and
length of time of the exhibit. Go and support these terrific artists, some
of whom are hearing Mahler for the first time and recording their impressions
of the great Mahler symphonies and songs. Tell the managers of the locations
how much you appreciate seeing the artwork in their venue.
