Ishan Clemenco began his career as a composer whose early work was concerned with just intonation and extended duration associated with 60s minimalism. Private composition residencies with Lou Harrison (1917-2003) and poetics studies with Anne Waldman at Naropa Institute led to extensive Asian travels. He had his first solo exhibition of chalkline wall drawing with Takada Gallery in San Francisco in 2002. He was included in Steirischerbst:03, at Graz, Austria, curated by Walter Kratner, and had a solo exhibition of wall drawing and works on paper with smART, curated by Sibylle Müller, at Münich, in 2003. In 2010, NOMA Gallery presented a site-specific solo exhibition of chalkline wall drawing on colored light filters and produced the limited-edition 10-inch vinyl album afterlight as an artist multiple, in conjunction with the exhibition. afterlight is part of The Steven Lieber Audio Collection, MOMA. In 2015, the artist participated in the performance series directions given – directions taken, curated by Michael Swaine, at Southern Exposure. Describe Perimeter, the score for the circumnambulation of a San Francisco city block, with 1,250+ feet of braided orange mason line, was realized in performance during the series.
