I have arrived in Vienna safe and sound! I am an artist-in-residence at MuseumsQuartier, developing an eight-channel composition for the TONSPUR_passage sound system, accompanied by a series of 7 artworks to be displayed in the passageway’s lightboxes. The opening will be at the end of the month.
Vienna is glorious. Georg Weckwerth, TONSPUR's artistic director, kindly welcomed me with homemade jam, flowers and red wine! Weckwerth founded the sound art platform TONSPUR für einen öffentlichen raum alongside Peter Szely in 2003 at the MuseumsQuartier Wien. TONSPUR is iconic!
I feel privileged to be hosted at the Museum, a former stable built in the 18th century as the Imperial Court Stables. I have spotted horse-head stone reliefs. I have already met the other residents and attended a couple of exhibition openings.
Further details about my work will be announced later at https://tonspur.at.
