The German sound artis
Lukas Kühne will talk about his site-specific sound sculptures in public spaces in Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Germany and Uruguay.
Kühne created
Cromatico, a permanent sound sculpture on Tallinn's Sound Festival Grounds, for the Tuned City Tallinn event in 2011.
Cromatico is tuned to the F chromatic scale, with each of the 12 chambers corresponding to a pitch along the scale from 88hz (F) to 164hz (E).
Tvísöngur, opened in 2012, consists of five interconnected concrete domes on the hillside above Seyðisfjörður in east Iceland. It is a tribute to the Icelandic cultural heritage of polyphonic duets, or "twin-singing". The five domes, reaching a height between 2 and 4 meters, amplify and resonate with the tones of consecutive fifths, which form the basic structure of the musical form. The sculpture is accessible to visitors, who can experiment with the sounds.
In 2014, Kühne built a similar installation, the
Hailuoto Organum, in Finland.
Kühne also developed the
Space and Frequency project with Robyn Schulkowsky in 2005, with monumental and interdisciplinary exhibitions in New York City, Helsinki and Brussels.
He curated several exhibitions of sound art, such as
Espacio y Frecuencia in the National Museum of Visual Arts (MNAV) and
Rumbo al Ruido in the MAPI Museum for Pre-Colombian Art, both in Montevideo, Uruguay.
And founded the Experimental Format of Form and Sound (Taller Experimental Forma y Sonido) in 2005 and the International Festival of Sound Art Monteaudio (Festival Internacional de Arte Sonoro Monteaudio) in 2013, both at the University of the Republic in Montevideo.
Institute of Sonology at the
Royal Conservatoire The Hague in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Niederlande.
