With performances of Aernoudt Jacobs, Maria Komarova, Suzan Peeters en Amos Peled.
On Sunday 2 June, FIBER Festival, STUK and the Brakke Grond present a day filled with sound art from the Netherlands and Belgium under the title Neighbouring Frequencies. The programme – consisting of installations, performances, and lectures – is the final day of FIBER Festival, which takes place at various locations in Amsterdam. With Neighbouring Frequencies, the three organisations present the richness and many manifestations of sound art within both countries.
Sound art is a hybrid collection of artworks, self-developed instruments, design projects and performances that all start from an experimental investigation of sound and is gaining increasing public interest. Sound art brings together elements from media art, music culture and composition, architecture, software development, creative coding, and audiovisual creativity. It does this increasingly so, with a social focus. Sound art has many forms and appearances – from spatial installations, experimental stage performances, online projects, to soundwalks and much more.
Sometimes collaborations and cross-pollination between the neighbouring countries emerge. Visitors are invited to learn about the history, present and possible future of sound art, from the perspective of Flemish-Dutch collaborations, while also looking at developments in Wallonia.
How did sound art develop in both countries? What are specific and unique traditions or trends? What historical and contemporary overlaps and collaborations are there across the border? Expect a day-long programme of lectures and sound art performances, complemented by a compact exhibition featuring four Flemish sound art installations.
