Tonspur_expanded - Der Lautsprecher

MuseumsQuartier 21, Wien

Curator Georg Weckwerth

Air is the medium by which sound travels, the speaker is the medium of its transformation.
The exhibition TONSPUR_expanded ∞ The Loudspeaker focuses on artistic engagement with sound conversion.

27 international artists working in a range of genres (fine art, sound art, media art, digital culture) employ the loudspeaker as an aid, an art object, innovative technology or as a "victim" in sound sculptures, sound installations, videos, mixed media installations and depictive works (the latter case, for instance, in the sculpture AUDIO GUILLOTINE by Artist-in-Residence Benoît Maubrey, where speakers are "beheaded").

Gary Hill (USA), Janet Cardiff & Georg Bures Miller (CDN), Bernhard Leitner (A), Dawn Scarfe (GB), Sabine Groschup (A), Werner Reiterer (A), Tyler Adams (USA), Clemens Leuschner (GER), Matthias Deumlich (D), Douglas Henderson (USA), Timo Kahlen (D), Via Lewandowsky (D), Friedrich Jürgenson (S), Robin Minard (CDN), Gordon Monahan (CDN), Ignaz Schick (D), Robert Schwarz (A), son:DA (SLO), Maurice van Tellingen (NL) und Stephen Vitiello (USA). Als Artists-in-Residence des quartier21 werden Rolf Julius (D), Benoît Maubrey (USA), Jean-Pierre Gauthier (CDN), Charles Stankievech (CDN) und Carl Michael von Hausswolff (S)

The freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL is being used for the first time in this exhibition as a listening space where the audience has both its eyes and its ears opened.

An exhibition in cooperation with the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, as well as the German and Canadian Embassies in Vienna.
