From the artist:
“Tablelands Center for Bioregional Art, an operational farm and experimental research station, presents Isaac Dunne’s I can not get no feed (cowboy blues), a site responsive sculpture that harnesses the winds of the Llano Estacado to play an elegiac song.
Taking its form from the ubiquitous ranch gate, a vernacular architecture that dots the Llano and much of rural Texas, I can not get no feed is a threshold to nowhere and a monument to thwarted desire. Dunne’s sculpture serves as both architecture and large scale instrument. The 64 harp strings strung on the columns of the gate are played by the wind, producing a lonely and strange song.
I can not wait for you (cowboy blues) is supported in part by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.”
