These were offered to the artist by the Mexican government following their confiscation and subsequent public destruction in the city of Ciudad, Juarez.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the 6,700 destroyed weapons he received from the Mexican Secretary of Defense, Reyes created two groups of instruments which will be exhibited together for the first time at Lisson Gallery. The first, a series titled Imagine, is an orchestra of fifty instruments, from flutes to string and percussion instruments, designed to be played live. The second, Disarm, is a never-before-exhibited installation of mechanical musical instruments, which can either be automated or played live by an individual operator using a laptop computer or midi keyboard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReyes has in turn collaborated with producer and musician, John Coxon (Spring Heel Jack, Spiritualized, About Group, Treader) to compose music and produce a record using instruments from the Imagine series. The result is a limited edition vinyl LP featuring Coxon performing alongside six musicians well known on the improvisational scene: Eden Bull, Rupert Clervaux, Beatrice Dillon, Charles Hayward and Ashley Wales. On the opening night of the exhibition they will perform tracks from the album live at Lisson Gallery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe LP includes a publication that documents the various steps of this expansive project and also features an essay by Jessica Berlanga Taylor on Reyes and an interview with Tina Kukielski, co-curator of the Carnegie International. Copies will be displayed at the gallery throughout the duration of the show.
