Museum der Moderne Salzburg Mönchsberg: Sound of Art. Les Grands Spectacles III
In the magical field of the sound machine
The exhibition trilogy “Les Grands Spectacles” at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg combines music with visual arts. This diffuse field of Sound-Art deals with conceptual art in terms of the Avant-garde of the 20th century.
The young artists of Italian Futurism made everyday sounds to a fetish and revolutionized music history. John Cage’s concepts or Günther Uecker's “Orchestra of Terror” as well as large parts of Audio-Art would be unthinkable without the Futurists. Most recent objects such as the 'Rotation Quintet' by Constantin Luser, Lukas Galehr and Matthias Mokowsky, are also displayed.
The exhibit at the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg presents scores, objects, photographs, videos and video installations, and recordings of actions, including works by (among many others) Mauricio Kagel, Joseph Beuys, Dieter Roth and Cory Arcangel. “Sound of Art, Les Grands Spectacles III”, curated by the highly qualified Brigitte Felderer in cooperation with Eleonore Louis, is capable of recharging the batteries of the onlookers eyes - especially following the hectic Salzburg Festival.
