On April 19, the Stedelijk Museum and Non-fiction are organizing an evening at TrouwAmsterdam both about and with sound art, as part of the series Temporary Stedelijk 3 – Stedelijk @ Trouw/De Verdieping. Leading artists and musicians will respond to the question: What does a building sound like? With live performances and installations by artists and musicians including Alva Noto, Machinefabriek, Jacob Kirkegaard, Sarah van Sonsbeeck, Mark Bain, Alexandra Duvekot, Peter C. Simon, and special presentations of the Stedelijk Museum collection and of the NIMk collection at De Verdieping.
The clubroom of TrouwAmsterdam, the restaurant, De Verdieping, the Hall, and the machine room will fill with sounds and installations that turn the architecture into sounds and images itself. In addition, video and acoustic works from the Stedelijk Museum collection make appearances in different places in the building. These include works by Bruce Nauman, Gary Hill, and Marina Abramovic. The Nederlands Institute for Media Arts contributes to the evening with a selection of video works that will stretch the boundaries of the building:
20 Hz, Semiconductor (UK, 2011, 4'59")
Walking After Acconci (Redirected Approaches), Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard (UK, 2005, 24'00")
Raum sehen und Raum hören, Valie Export (DE, 1974, 9'22")
Body Music II, Charlemagne Palestine (USA, 1974, 8'03") Playing the Building is the much talked-about experiment in which sound, art, and architecture come together in a playful way!
