The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) - Sullivan Galleries, Chicago
William and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Professor. A lecture
Bill Fontana is a world-renowned pioneer of sound art who has created monumental, site-specific, and experiential aural installations around the globe. For the past 30 years, Fontana has used sound as a sculptural medium. His works engage the human and natural environment as a living source of musical information, interacting with and transforming our perceptions of visual and architectural spaces. Established in 2006 by a generous gift from William and Stephanie Sick, this distinguished professorship enables internationally renowned artists and designers to visit and teach at SAIC. This lecture is part of Visiting Artists Program Fall 2011. Lectures begin at 6pm, admission free and open to the public (image: Sonic Shadows, 2010, Installation view at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Courtesy of the artist).
