VISUAL SOUND
through December 30
Curated by Michael Olijnyk and Rolf Julius, Part II of the
exhibition VISUAL SOUND features new installations by Terry Fox,
whose current installation work uses whole rooms as sound boxes;
Robin Minard, whose site specific installations address the effect
of sound in the environment upon the physical and emotional well
being of the listener, attempting to alter the space in the same
way that color and light affect it; Qin Yufen whose installations
respond to specific sites -- combining Chinese tradition and her
experiences growing up in China with a western aesthetic; and
works by Rolf Julius, Christina Kubisch, Hans Peter Kuhn, and Akio
Suzuki.
