Скачать или смотреть Architecture of Sound - Martian Tabakov @plus359gallery

The creation of a sculpture that works as a musical instrument involves not only the consideration of different materials as sources of sound waves, but also the study of the internal, invisible to visual perception, spaces of forms in terms of their acoustic and resonant properties. With his work on three-dimensional objects, which when interacting with the audience, produce sounds, Martian Tabakov explores the idea of shape formation from a totally different angle. This is an artistic effort in a direction that goes beyond the generalized definition of sculpture as resolving plastic problems and offers its rationalization in an architectural aspect, presuming a different context for its understanding.

Philosophical thinking about perceptions is focused primarily on the visual experience, which forms the knowledge of the world around us. Space is of fundamental importance in visual perception – on the one hand it determines the internal structure of visible objects and on the other their external distinctiveness. In the perception of sound, time plays the role of space in the visual experience. The characteristics of sound develop over time, and among the sculptural objects from the ‘Architecture of Sound’ the observer falls into a model of space and time, where an integral sensory perception is embedded. The sound here is not just a detail of the sculptures, it is not planned as an additional reference or as an effect reinforcing the artistic content and it is a fundamental building block from the initial sketches to the precise creation of volumes, which besides aesthetic have also audio characteristics. This unusual challenge for the senses clearly demonstrates the way in which art creates an ontological language based not on the daily nomenclature of objects that we have to see and comprehend, but on the process of comprehension itself....
