Shotgun Architecture at P40 by Justin Bennett. A sound and light installation by Justin Bennett // http://www.filter-hamburg.com/
till January 11th 2009 Can one make sound visible? What happens to our thought processes and emotional perception when sound and its movement is performed or even manipulated in space? Mapping urban space and its architecture through the sound of a gunshot, the method Justin Bennett is currently using, entails numerous domains of expression. FILTER and Onomatopee invited Bennett for his first solo presentation in Hamburg to work on a site-specific presentation at P40. P40 is a turn of the century building with an ornamental red brick facade, a cupola roof and spaces with high ceilings. Built as pathology department for the Eilbek hospital until its privatization, the space has been used and redefined for different purposes over the last decade. Justin Bennett analyzed this piece of architecture with a gunshot and recorded its echoes. A gunshot is a simple sound element that we seem to know how to identify and detect. But what happens if your initial senses are deceived? Sound and vision can transpose a physical space and illustrate an imaginary space. Shotgun Architecture at P40 is the result of this interaction, a site-specific sound and light installation with a set of 'Noise Maps'. This exhibition is a collaborative project with the Dutch edition label ONOMATOPEE. Together with the artist ONOMATOPEE produced a 10 inch record and poster of Shotgun Architecture by Justin Bennett (www.onomatopee.net) Further information on the artist please visit: http://this.is/justin http://this.is/bmbcon http://spore.soundscaper.com _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
