The Auerglass Organ is a two-person tracker action pump organ conceived by Tauba Auerbach and Cameron Mesirow ([[Glasser (musician)|Glasser]]) and constructed by Parson's Pipe Organs in Canandaigua, NY. Each player has a keyboard with alternating notes of a four octave scale. The instrument cannot be played alone because each player must pump to supply wind to the other player’s notes. Auerbach and Mesirow composed and performed a piece of music on the Auerglass in 2009''.'' The instrument is now in residence at Future-Past studio in Hudson, New York.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFvdKk6u3Ao</ref>

Tauba Auerbach (born 1981) is a visual artist working in many disciplines including painting, artists' books, sculpture, and weaving who lives and works in New York.[2]

Early life and education[edit]

Auerbach grew up in San Francisco, California, the child of theater designers.[3] They apprenticed and worked as a sign painter at New Bohemia Signs in San Francisco from 2002–2005.

Work[edit]

A life-long student of math and physics, Auerbach's work contends with structure and connectivity on the microscopic to the universal scale. “Engaging a variety of media, ranging from painting and photography to book design and musical performance, Auerbach explores the limits of our structures and systems of logic (linguistic, mathematical, spatial) and the points at which they break down and open up onto new visual and poetic possibilities".[4]

Notable work[edit]

Text- and language-based work

In their first solo exhibition, Auerbach showed a series of text-based drawings that explored various linguistic systems including calligraphy, Morse code, semaphore signals, the Ugaritic alphabet and Alexander Melville Bell's visible speech.[5]

Fold paintings

Auerbach gained acclaim for their Fold paintings, which they first exhibited in 2009.[6] They were included in the 2010 Whitney Biennial, and Greater New York at Moma PS1.[7]

Weave paintings

The all-white and sometimes bi-colored stretched weavings were first exhibited in Tetrachromat, and grew more intricate and architectural in the following years. They are composed of woven canvas strips.[8]

Grain paintings

A series of gestural paintings created using custom tools made by the artist.[9] "Some kind on controlled repetition. It is not irrational copying and pasting, but a way to see something slightly different for a reduced period of time. Scarcity then increases the value, directs our attention and creates characters" Luis Alberto Mejia Clavijo.[10]

Glass sculpture

In 2015 Auerbach was a resident at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY. Here they learned the skills to craft the glass sculptures in the exhibition Projective Instrument.[9]

Auerglass

The Auerglass Organ is a two-person tracker action pump organ conceived by Tauba Auerbach and Cameron Mesirow (Glasser) and constructed by Parson's Pipe Organs in Canandaigua, NY. Each player has a keyboard with alternating notes of a four octave scale. The instrument cannot be played alone because each player must pump to supply wind to the other player’s notes. Auerbach and Mesirow composed and performed a piece of music on the Auerglass in 2009. The instrument is now in residence at Future-Past studio in Hudson, New York.[11]

Extended object paintings

Small paintings made using an apparatus which allows the coordinated deposit of paint on the canvas in deliberate arrays of droplets.
