The installation 'Klangspeicher - global/local', produced by the students of the Royal College of Art, Music and Dance in The Hague, focuses on the sound architectonic dimensions of this unique 19th century heritage site. The Italian artist Paolo Piscitelli has a feel for combining spatial settings, conceptual approaches and transmedial work forms with concrete places. In his 'Unpacking' installation, he has stacked hundreds of empty book boxes to act as unpassable walls within the rings of the water reservoir.

Klangspeicher – global / local
24th July 2009 - 13th September 2009
Invited by the singuhr – sound gallery, students of the Royal College of Art, Music and Dance in The Hague are collaborating with TU Berlin students under Edwin van der Heide's guidance to produce the sound installation "Klangspeicher – global/local" for the Small Water Reservoir. The installation focuses on the sound architectonic dimensions of this unique 19th century heritage site. Its function as a water reservoir, its role as a storage area and its transition to a place of artistic discourse all serve as departure points for the joint project.

UNPACKING
24th July 2009 - 20th September 2009
The Italian artist Paolo Piscitelli has a feel for combining spatial settings, conceptual approaches and transmedial work forms with concrete places. In his "Unpacking" installation, he has stacked hundreds of empty book boxes to act as unpassable walls within the rings of the water reservoir. Together, they create the surfaces for video projections with animated texts - book titles that Piscitelli and selected persons recall in writing, impelled by the relentless ticking of a clock. In "Unpacking", the audience is both witness and silent participant to a time-based process. The installation invites the viewer to reflect on his/her own inner "residues".
Opening 23rd July 2009 at 6.00 p.m.
