A Truckload Of Bricks In The Soft Morning Light

Curated by Jon Taner, MFA

The Waters of March Project Introduction

The Waters of March is a song written and performed by famed Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim.
It is about torrential rains that wash away the summer in Brazil.
The lyrics form a brilliant collage of objects, emotions, and different circumstances that are arranged in a series of repeated descending notes like falling rain.

The nationally and internationally recognized artists chosen to participate in this project translate their selection of random words and phrases into visual art.

The Joy in Your Heart

The Joy in Your Heart, a phrase from renowned Brazilian composer and lyricist Antonio Carlos Jobim’s soulful and iconic song, The Waters of March, represents visual interpretations by 16 recognized artists.
