The Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery is proud to announce the solo exhibition Tethered Oscillator by interdisciplinary artist Leticia Bajuyo, on view from October 24 to January 28, 2021. Leticia Bajuyo is known for creating large-scale installations that weave together thousands of shiny CDs or DVDs into immense glittery forms. In Tethered Oscillator, the artist has suspended two horn-shaped sculptures in the gallery. Each sculpture functions as a theremin, an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact. The instruments can be played by two visitors at a time while social distancing.
Bajuyo often draws inspiration from science for her art, and for this exhibition,
she explores the concept of coupled oscillators. In physics, coupled oscillators are
oscillators connected in such a way that energy can be transferred between them. The
artist has created a space for visitors to activate both her sculptures at once and
thus become the spring-like force connecting the two forms.
The discarded CDs and DVDs that make up the sculpture serve as a reminder of yesterday’s
songs, movies, memories, instructional videos, and other recorded media. As compact
discs are no longer a primary means of storing information, their use carries an air
of nostalgia.
Leticia Bajuyo is a Filipinx-American interdisciplinary artist and sculptor. She received her M.F.A. in 2001 from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and her B.F.A. in 1998 from the University of Notre Dame. Before joining the faculty of Texas A&M Corpus Christi in 2017, she served as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Sculpture at the University of Notre Dame (2016-2017) and as a Professor of Art at Hanover College, Hanover, Indiana (2001-2015).
