Exploring the Sound Sculptures of Marina Rosenfeld at Kunsthaus Baselland
At the intersection of sculpture, acoustic architecture, and live musical performance, the exhibition by New York-based artist and composer Marina Rosenfeld brings a distinctive sonic dimension to the contemporary galleries of Kunsthaus Baselland. Curated by Ines Goldbach, the presentation showcases a body of work that engages directly with perceptual spaces through recursive sound networks, sculptural installations, and transient gestures. Visitors navigating the galleries encounter an immersive environment where physical form and auditory experience are deeply intertwined.
The Intersection of Sculpture and Sound
The exhibition features a series of installations and new works that build upon the artist's ongoing exploration of audio systems, feedback loops, and musical notation. Pieces such as Tube, Fountain, Buffer, Harp, and various iterations of Receiver and Music Stand transform the exhibition spaces into resonant chambers. These works incorporate elements of computer music logic and mechanical reproduction, prompting viewers to consider how sound shapes physical environments. Traces of historical performances, including references to the artist's pioneering all-female ensemble projects from the 1990s, run throughout the displayed objects, bridging past transient happenings with present gallery experiences.
Visitor Information and Public Programs
The presentation is accompanied by a robust schedule of public events designed to deepen audience engagement with the works. Visitors can participate in guided public tours, curator-led walkthroughs, and specialized family workshops tailored for children aged six to twelve. In addition to gallery tours, related programming extends outside the traditional exhibition rooms, offering diverse entry points for both first-time visitors and contemporary art enthusiasts.
