# The Estate of Steve Roden URL: https://vielmetter.com/artists/steve-roden/ Represented by Vielmetter Los Angeles Known for his work in painting, sculpture, sound, and video, Steve Roden created a visionary and idiosyncratic aesthetic language across multiple mediums that was rooted in his interest in translating systems. Roden made connections and meaning by experimenting with visual imagery, music, language, code, translation, listening, and the amassing of various collections of objects and ephemera. Taking a particular interest in the relationship between color and sound, he focused specifically on spectrums of noise which are used to determine frequencies in sound as they relate to color. Roden then transformed this into profoundly beautiful and intellectual visual experiences. In his two-dimensional work, Roden used various forms of specific notation (words, musical scores, maps, etc.) and translated them through self-invented systems into scores, which then influenced the process of painting, drawing, sculpture, and composition. These scores, while perhaps rigid in terms of their parameters and rules, also allowed for intuitive decisions. In the visual works, translations of information such as text and maps, became rules and systems for generating visual actions such as color choices, number of elements, amounts of time, and form building. Steve Roden was born in 1964 in Los Angeles and lived there until his death in September 2023. He attended two of Los Angeles’s premier art schools, Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design where he received his BA in 1986, and Art Center College of Design where he received his MA in 1989. Since 1986, Roden consistently exhibited and performed his work across the United States and internationally. His first exhibition at Vielmetter Los Angeles was in 2003, followed by eight other solo exhibitions. His artwork has been exhibited at venues including: Mercosur Biennial, Porto Alegre Brazil; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla, CA; UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, Greece; Singuhr-Horgalerie, Berlin; Center for Book Arts, New York; The Kitchen, New York; Pomona College Museum of Art, Claremont, CA; La Casa Encendida, Madrid; and Studio la Citta, Verona, Italy; among others. Roden performed his soundworks at various arts spaces and experimental music festivals worldwide including: Serpentine Gallery, London; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Dca Dundee, Scotland; Redcat, Los Angeles; and Crawford Gallery, Cork, Ireland. He created numerous site-specific sound works for spaces such as Moca At The Pacific Design Center, Los Angeles; The Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, WA; the Mak Center For Art And Architecture/Schindler House, Los Angeles; Chinati, Marfa, Texas; City University Of Hong Kong; Girard College, Philadelphia; and the city of West Hollywood, California. His artwork is held in many public and private collections including Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, Greece; the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, WA; the Blanton Museum of Art, University Of Texas, Austin; the Palm Springs Museum, Palm Springs, CA; and Benton Museum Of Art at Pomona College, Claremont, CA. ## Exhibitions -
