Sound Installation in a Gallery Context

How do I feel?

My Initial Feelings

I am very excited about my first sound installation exhibition. The creativity in me, will thrive.

White Cube Theroy

White oblong space with lighting usually from the ceiling. This has been standardised since the 20th century for modern art exhibtions.

Sound Artists Examples

Susan Philipz

The first sound artist to be awarded the ‘Turner Prize’ in 2010.

The ‘Turner Prize’ is an award given annually to a visual artist in Great Britain for exhibition work.

Joshua Le Gallienne 

Action without Action

https://soundartbrighton.com/event/joshua-le-gallienne-action-without-action/

“an interactive installation utilising glass, latex and helium to explore the relationships between sound, space and invisible natural forces.”

“Invisible natural forces” took my interest.

“Unusually, for an artist working predominantly with sound, Le Gallienne does not use digital technologies, loudspeakers, or conventional sources of energy in their practice.”

A very unorthodox approach to installation work but isn’t that the theme in common with all installation work? I am a fan of outside-the-box thinking especially this approach.

Black Box Theroy

Black box theory is a black-walled enclosure used for exhibitions. Black box theory comes from a theatre background.

Sound Art

Zimoun

https://zimoun.net/installations/

Examples of exhibitions using white cube theory and black box theories.

I find it fascinating that Zimoun is a minimalist which is an artistic choice. Making titles short and not much explaining his work leaving his work to interpretation which I find inspiring.

Saasfee* Pavillon, Frankfurt, Germany, 2019

My dog actually reacted fearful and confused when I played back this exhibition due to ultra sonic frequencies.


Activity

Researching Sound Installation

As a class this is our findings.

Generating Ideas Activity
