Artist Detailed Info: Gary Setzer

www.garysetzer.com

Tucson-based performance artist Gary Setzer takes cues from art-punk groups like Devo, Talking Heads, and Kraftwerk as much he does process-oriented artists like Bruce Nauman and Joseph Beuys. Supralingual/Sublingual: The Tongue is the Terrain is Setzer’s first release on Pretend Records and catalogs the soundtrack for his recent performance work. In this nerdy (and humorous) concept album, Setzer metaphorically parallels the division between air and land with the division between language and its meaning—a narrative swaddled in clean electro beats.
