Sound

Thinking Kinetic

Several artists have been invited to participate in our up and coming kinetic exhibition planned for the summer of 2011. With this, we will be introducing a selection of artists over the course of the next few months. We will highlight artists during our Tuesday posts (curator notes). Please enjoy the previews and follow along as the exhibition picks up steam.

Focussing on Sound

One category of Kinetic work that we'll be including in the show is "sound art." 

We believe that sound art is an important investigation in the sensory experience and often overlaps the world of kinetics. In the broadest sense kinetics is defined as "having movement."

Featured Artist: Joseph Hoffman currently resides in columbus, OH. 
His recent work focusses on sound art. His unique method of artistry uses sound engineering software and a complex channel distribution that only the artist can comment on. Still, the combination of sculpture and installation allows Hoffman to play with movement. His work could be described as a wall of sound. The overlapping channels of sound have a distinct narrative approach, often times cryptic. Noises move across the wall as new sounds and introduced. The  visual movement of intervals create a vibration that carries the eye through a grid of speakers. 

Hoffman's work can most recently be found at Pheonix Gallery in New York, NY. We are extremely pleased with his addition to our exhibition roster.
