| Summary: | "Voice & Void" examines the topic of the human voice in avant-garde and contemporary art over the past 40 years, reconsidering the interrelationship of hearing and seeing against the backdrop of the visual arts. The selected artworks prove that not only visual phenomena can be expressed by the visual arts, but also audible ones, in particular when both are contrasted with their opposites, the void and silence. In this substantial study, Thomas Trummer has assembled an array of international contemporary artworks in all media that illustrate the problems of the voice confronted with the void. Artists include Rachel Berwick, Joseph Beuys and Ute Klophaus, John Cage, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, Valie Export, Anna Gaskell, Asta Groting, Christian Marclay, Melik Ohanian, Hans Schabus, Nedko Solakov, Julianne Swartz and Cerith Wyn Evans. |
