While Interwoven Echoes Drip into a Hybrid Body – an Exhibition about Sound, Performance and Sculpture

 

21. January 2006  – 26. March 2006

Featuring artworks by:
Rita Ackermann   Dave Allen   Peter Coffin   Chris Cunningham   Delia Gonzalez   Björk Guðmundsdóttir   Paul Etienne Lincoln   Mileece*   Seb Patane   Gavin Russom   Agathe Snow   Banks Violette

 

In recent times the use of sound has precipitated an increased fusion between performance art and sculpture, resulting in the emergence of new hybrid forms. These new forms not only question traditional sculpture by expanding conceptual boundaries, they also liberate sound from its peripheral status as a prop for performance and video art. The works displayed in the exhibition continue with the new “crossover” consciousness of the 1990s and demonstrate the hybridity and diversity of these forms.
