CHROMA MACHINE SUITE: FORECASTING FAULT LINES IN THE COSMOS
In an ongoing exploration of invisible systems, Dannielle Tegeder reveals her deep engagement with ideas of pedagogy, urban planning, and collaboration through drawings, paintings, sculptural installations, sound works, animations, and performative gestures. Chroma Machine Suite: Forecasting Fault Lines in the Cosmos was a six month project at HR Block Space in Kansas city featuring a site-specific wall drawing and immersive, evolving sculptural installation created with young artists during Tegeder’s six month residency at the Kansas City Art Institute. The site was activated through readings, classes, performances, meditation instruction, collaboration with a choreographer, and animations.

“Chroma Machine Suite was set at H&R Block Artspace at the Kansas City Art Institute, which is one of the oldest art schools in the country. There is a pedagogical element to the work I created there. Students took part in the exhibition and worked with me for a week on a large wall installation, and the exhibition will culminate in a workshop and performance that we will develop together. I have also invited guest artists from Kansas City to perform iterations of the deconstructed paintings. “

“In the sculptural installation she created with students, Tegeder took her powerful chroma and recurrent geometrical elements out of the two-dimensional space and turned them into a spatial experience. The installation is a “painting” which has come off the canvas and away from the frame.”
