La Casa Encendida is organising the first SOUnd ART exhibition ever to take
place in Madrid. Curated by José Manuel Costa, the show aims to provide
spectators with the opportunity to learn more about the complexity of sound
art and its multiple forms through the work created by different national
and international artists over the course of the last decade. SOUnd ART is
therefore not just an exhibition - it is also a festival of sound
performance, including film screenings, music, radio, workshops and other
such activities.
The exhibition proper will be held in various spaces at La Casa Encendida
(exhibition halls, staircases, terrace, tower and clock), as well as in the
gardens adjacent to the old observatory near Atocha and in a variety of
urban spaces in the vicinity of La Casa Encendida.
La Casa Encendida will also play host to a broad programme of film and
music events all connected to sound art. A detailed catalogue will be
published and towards the end of the exhibition a number of workshops will
be organised.
The works to be shown at La Casa Encendida are large-format pieces,
including among others Angela Bulloch's massive Disenchanted Forest x 1001
sculpture, a new piece by Ryoji Ikeda (test pattern [nº2]), an installation
by Carsten Nicolai based on his former works Anti and Reflex, and Minoru
Sato's "mute" sound sculpture.
But the show will also feature aspects of sound art in spaces not normally
used for exhibition purposes, surprising visitors as they stroll through
the dynamic, vibrant building that houses La Casa Encendida. The terrace
will provide the backdrop for works by Chris Watson, Katja Kölle,
Riches/Miwa and Llorenç Barber, and for the duration of SOUnd ART it will
come alive with the sound of the bells ringing out the hours from the
building's old clock tower. In other places, Douglas Kahn will take over a
staircase, Andrés Ramírez Gaviria will install one of his interactive
pieces, and so on and so forth in different parts of the building.
Meanwhile, La Sonidera will offer an overview of the artistic potential of
radio through a special auditory programme.
Over the course of two weeks, alternative spaces in the vicinity of La Casa
Encendida and the observatory gardens will host sound installations by
Steve Roden, Dawn Scarfe, Dan Saint Claire, José Igés/Concha Jeréz and the
collective Escoitar.
There will also be a festival dedicated to sound performance in its myriad
facets, featuring artists such as Jakob Kirkegaard, Jean-François Laporte,
Michael Northam, Aki Onda, Pablo Palacio and Muriel Romero e Ilios.
From 22th April to 13th June.
