Art
Laboratory Berlin is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition
Embodiment of Time, which is part of the series Time
& Technology, and opens at the end of August.
The
Japanese artist and scholar Yasuhiro Sakamoto and the Spanish
composer Iñigo Giner Miranda have developed the installation
String Quartet without Strings for Four Loudspeakers and an Art
Machine especially for the exhibition. The work transforms the
complex time structures of contemporary and classical music into
an acoustic-visual model. This sound sculpture interprets
the term music in the broadest sense as an organization of time,
which not only creates purely tonal material, but also patterns
of movement (rolling marbles, turning wheels, pendulums, etc.) and
optical patterns (e.g. video), presenting a significant contribution
to our understanding of the ever more complex relation we have to
time in the 21st century.
The
American artist Dave Hebb deals with artifacts of industrial
civilization in the form of photography, video and installation.
His video installation Monitor, which will be shown at Art
Laboratory Berlin, is a video and photographic documentation of
an environmental intervention extending over a one year period.
Hebb placed a computer monitor outdoors and over the entire year
documenting the changes to the environment several times a week.
Viewers are challenged to reflect on their individual relationships
with nature and technology as well as how technology is effecting
our experience of time.
