On Wednesday September 17th, Ithaca Smith gave an artist’s talk at Unit/Pitt Projects regarding her collaborative video piece with Andrew Smith, “Blue in Green”. The work itself is a 22:24 minute black and white single channel video loop, which also accesses dance and painting as disciplines. Listen in to the recording of Ithaca here, as she speaks about the pleasures of amateurism and intimacy, muscle memory in both painting and jazz improvisation, and engaging in the practice of the monochrome.
