Zimoun: Volume – 294 prepared dc-motors, cork balls and cardboard boxes

Category Events Members Objects Sound People Posted on:

Zimoun's kinetic sound installations hardly need introduction. Ever since the immaculate documentation of his work first surfaced a couple of years ago, the Swiss artist's elegant mass assemblies of mechanical dc-motors, wires, tubes and cardboard and the complex sound textures they generate have been subject of numerous international exhibitions and a lot more glowing reviews. Lofty descriptions however can't quite capture the immersive quality of Zimoun's installations, you have to experience them for yourself – if you are in the New York area between now and March 10th, you still can.
