Description Carole Caroompas / Target Practice - CCTP-1 (1981)(USA) ...This auction is for a very limited edition record album. Carole Caroompas produced 250 copies of the album with silk-screened covers and paste-on colored feathers. "Target Practice" is a cycle of eight songs first performed by Caroompas in late 1981 at the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, and again at various galleries over the following year. She was already a well-established painter when she began devising performances to compliment her visual art, mostly paintings full of text and collage. She was an attractive young woman with a buttery, real voice, and one gets the sense that performance would have figured into her career with or without the burgeoning scene happening around her. Standing in front of an elaborate wall full of diagrammatic images and text that resembled one of her paintings blown up to wall size, Caroompas would sing along to a prerecorded soundtrack of Casio notes, metronomes and handclaps, found sounds, and multiple tracks of her own voice. She wore a black dress with a pearl necklace-- demure above leopard print high heel boots. Without a stage to look down from and no microphone to amplify her voice, she would captivate audiences with a mix of song and spoken interludes. Owing to space restrictions, the interludes were not included on this album of the show, which runs over an hour in length. Each song begins with the sound of arrows hitting a target, one after another. Track listings below...
