“Hidden+Lost-Tracing Sound” still from opening ceremony at Alternative Space LOOP © Alternative Space LOOPAlternative Space Loop will present the exhibition Hidden+Lost-Tracing Sound from August 25 to September 24. The exhibition is an artist exchange project on contemporary music between Korea and Germany, organized by Alternative Space Loop and Goethe-Institut Korea, as part of the ‘2023 Bilateral International Collaboration Program for Arts & Culture.’ As such, the exhibition will feature sound installations by composer Peter Gahn (b. 1970), as well as five live events featuring Korean musicians and sound artists.
Peter’s works that form the centerpiece of the exhibition are (2017-2018) and (2017-2018), both of which are based on field-recorded sounds from the outdoors. < Of Opening the Space I > (2017-2018) combines sound walks from the gates of Nuremberg’s city wall gates to an empty lot in the center of the city that once housed a synagogue destroyed by Nazis, with the sounds of an organ and turning pages of books by Jewish authors such as Walter Benjamin and Franz Werfel. < De-escalating Skies I > (2017-2018) begins with a sound walk along the military installations built in the Lower Rhine region in western West Germany during the Cold War. Also, it was followed by the sounds of oil pipelines being welded and the noise of jets flying overhead. The two works are enhanced by photographer Jan Lemitz and lighting designer Gareth Green.
In addition to the opening concert on August 25, there will be live events such as concerts and performances by various Korean musicians on September 2, 9, and 23. It can be reserved at the link below.
