The article was published on the website euronews.com
on April 25, 2013. The article reports that “Silent Space Stand Still” has
brought a combination of sound and art to the centre of Athens
and the organisers took over a former mosque in the Greek capital, now the home
of the museum of Greek Folk Art.
According to this article, since the end of
March, four artists have each opened their week-long residence with a live
presentation. It is dialogue of sound resonating through the site and its
history, connecting those inside with the fabric of the building.
This extract is said that the exhibition’s
curators said that they got in touch with the Greek Ministry of Culture, and
found this wonderful mosque in the centre of Athens. No one really knows it is here. But
it was built to reflect sound and that is what our exhibition is all about. Firstly,
Tarek Atoui is an electro-acoustic musician, sound artist and computer
programmer. Perched above one of the busiest squares in Athens, he listens,
reacts, improvises and performs with his environment in real-time, creating a
synergy between the instrument, the sound produced and the physical context. Secondly,
everybody are going to see a performance of electro-acoustic and electronic
music, that is pretty much dealing with the notion of instrument. Moreover, this
is the first time that a sound installation has been housed in a mosque in Athens. The curator of
the Museum of Greek Folk Art tells the story about
this museum. In addition to, they think it is excellent for museums to interact
with art and the audience, to open up their surroundings to music and sound
once again, because this one was built for that.
In this article the author gives the
information that Turk Cevdet Erek’s new work ‘Same to Different’ is an
exploration of the links that bind all things. Instead of being an architectural
symbol of power or control, the mosque’s dome is transformed into a simple
covering, embracing and encompassing everything underneath.
The author comes to the conclusion that the performance
was a combination of a lecture, sounds, personal memories and objects that
create sounds. They have been working on creating some materials for this
improvisation.
As for me, the combination of sounds and art is
always interesting for art-lovers. It’s a unique decision and it attracts a lot
of visitors.
Very Good!
