Marc Behrens shows a new sound installation in Copenhagen, at IMO gallery, Ny Carlsberg Vej 68, May 28 through June 10, 2010. An artist talk took place on May 31.
The work is featured in Phonebox, a series of 12 exhibitions. Phonebox is located in a former phone cabin, which will serve as an intimate exhibition space with room for only one person at a time.
Behrens’ new work APPARATUS is heard from two distinct sources at once. While the public is invited to listen to the sound over the headphones, a different layer of sound is at the same time transmitted over speakers installed in the small room. This technique creates a sonic and spatial dynamic where different layers blend and overlap. The work explores parallel perception, multiple viewpoints, displacement and asymmetric sound spatialization. [Rune Søchting, IMO]
