TRANSMISSION ART ARCHIVE
David Schafer
David Schafer is a visual and sound artist working in sculpture, sound, sound performance, installation, and graphics. His work embodies aspects of language, site, and architecture through the appropriation of modernist themes, cultural memory, and theory. His work is concerned with the intelligibility, translation, and structures of language and architecture, both spatial and linguistic. Schafer has shown nationally and internationally and has received several public commissions. Most recently he participated in Radio Break, where he remixed a selection of John Cage compositions for an exhibition on the air in Los Angeles conveyed through low-power radio transmissions. He mounted two solo exhibitions this year, one at Studio10 in Bushwick Brooklyn, and the other at the Glendale College of Art, Los Angeles. In 2010 he permanently installed Separated United Forms at the Huntington Hospital, Pasadena, CA, and participated in conjunction with the Whitney Biennial with What Should a Museum Sound Like?, a sound performance and sculpture.
