Tune the World: Sound sculptures - Pictures - Drawings
Haus der Kunst, Munich, DE Germany
The works of the American Stephan von Huene (1932-2000) - sometimes called machines by the artist - cast their spell over the viewer at first glance. It takes more than just visual or acoustic reception to understand them, for they are synaesthetic works, appealing simultaneously to the visual, acoustic and physical perceptions of the viewer and captivating in their precision. The works reflect Stephan von Huene’s idea of the “animation of the machine as a mirror of self-knowledge“ (Horst Bredekamp). - Read Indepth Article at www.absolutearts.com
