piano playing for paintings

today at the gallery, two different pianists (a chilean jazz pianist and a young prodigious french classical pianist) happened each to stop by at different times in the day to play for a while in the gallery. i love when this happens because it enhances my mood while i'm working and when the music fills the air of the gallery, i am convinced that it nourishes the artworks (like giving water to plants) and that the artworks too are enjoying the music.  today i was certain that the figures in marcos carrasquer's works were listening with their ears along with me. some might find this notion a bit kooky, but i'm certain that the sound frequencies emitted by the piano literally touch and penetrate the surfaces of the artworks and something inevitably happens even if it is too subtle and invisible for us to detect but certain things just seem so obvious.
