The works are inspired by the functionality as well as the craftsmanship that goes into making of a piano which creates variety of emotions, messages and ideas from simple set of rules assigned to black and white keys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a\">John Coltrane has famously said that the main thing a musician would like to do is give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things that he knows of and senses in the universe. Coltrane was a master of experimenting new form of jazz. Experimenting outside of harmonic structure, sometimes ignoring beat and even a notion of solo. His style called \u201cfree jazz\u201d celebrated freedom from rules and structures. Freedom from what is accepted or expected as well as freedom to imagine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a\">Although the works have sculptural qualities to them, the artists insists on calling them as paintings, forcing us to&nbsp; see them as pictures. On the contrary to Coltrane\u2019s comment on providing a picture to the listen, Bojda\u2019s works would give a sound to the viewer of whatever they would like to hear or imagine hearing. Activating the gallery as a stage, Bojda\u2019s carefully constructed paintings and drawings of pianos keys are invitations for the viewers to play.<\/p>\n<p>Curated by Ryota Sato<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/poster.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9021\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-content\/uploads\/poster.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"457\" height=\"640\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The works are inspired by the functionality as well as the craftsmanship that goes into making of a piano which creates variety of emotions, messages and ideas from simple set of rules assigned to black and white keys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9021,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[5,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9019"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9019"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9023,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9019\/revisions\/9023"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
