"Transience: Sound Installation"
2001-02-01 until 2001-03-31
Kiasma, Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki
Helsinki, ,
FI
Transience will address and (re)interpret the urban soundscape; it will reflect the
transient nature of both urban life and of sound itself. It will fill the void at the
centre of Kiasma via the invisible medium of sound, using a unique computerised
diffusion system to allow artists and composers from Finland and the UK to
'choreograph' the movement of sound especially for this space..
Designed and
curated by John Wynne and Michael Madsen with support from NIFCA, Transience
is an installation which is large in scale but at the same time ethereal; the work will
embody the paradox of the urban environment, which generates a state of
heightened sensitivity to sounds as signifiers while also demanding a highly
developed process of selective listening
