New Zealand artist Paul Amlehn has a sound installation in New York next month which utilises Robert Fripp’s soundscapes.
The show is part of the larger Sonic Self exhibition at the Chelsea Art Museum. In the blurb for the show the organisers write “The Sonic world (an audible space); an emerging intersection between the audio and visual experiences, based on increasing internet and digital technology inventions -- gave the sound a significant stage in the surrounding environment in the multimedia environment of contemporary culture then ever before. The exploration of the sound emergent spaces, time of audio resonance, sound design, audio-visual simulation, virtual dimension, linguistic utterances, musical performance or random ‘noise’, becomes an individual expression which could exceed its form in relation to our internal self and sonic influences.”
The exhibition opens on July 17th and runs until 30th August thus providing another cultural stopping off point for KC punters visiting the city earlier in August. You can hear some of the work over on the audio mag Art Anomaly which also features Trey talking about his Quodia project, and Tony Levin’s favourite group, Sleepy Time Gorilla.
