BANG! Being the Building. Musarc Salon at the Barbican
Thursday 26 January 2012, 7:00pm, Barbican Art Gallery. Free admission
Musarc have been invited to host a salon as part of the Barbican’s OMA/Progress exhibition on Thursday 26 January 2011. On the occasion of the event, Musarc have commissioned a new film by sound artist Davide Tidoni which explores sonic impulse responses inside and around the Barbican by popping a balloon. Recorded during periods of silence, often at night, the results of such a seemingly mundane act are mesmerising. Tidoni adds a humorous dimension to this in the way he later stages the recording in the film. The first work in this series, A balloon for Linz, received an honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2011 and can be seen here (headphones recommended): http://vimeo.com/28686368.
In addition to the screening and talks by the artist and guests exploring sound, architecture and perception, the evening will include a performance by Musarc’s choir and more. Stay tuned and save the date.
Admission: free
