Exhibition summary

This exhibition transformed the Secession's main hall into an 'Echopark' by artists Wolfgang Capellari and EchoparK (Nadia Lichtig, Bertrand Georges). The project explored the acoustics of the space through a combination of sound installations, performances, and visual elements.

Curatorial context

The exhibition "EchoparK" by Wolfgang Capellari and EchoparK (Nadia Lichtig, Bertrand Georges) turned the main room of the Secession into an experimental sound environment. Rather than overwhelming visitors with noise, the artists employed carefully controlled acoustic signals, poetic music, and visual elements to create an engaging experience. The project worked at the intersection of the visual and acoustic, transforming the hall into a resonant space with distinct zones for installations, performances, and concerts. Visitors could experience a local sound installation, a performance using an overhead projector with live drawing and music, and an accordion repurposed as a cinema for film projections and live performances. The event also featured a concert by EchoparK with French guests, a 'performance concert under the duvet,' a 'walking soundtrack' performance by Wolfgang Capellari, presentations of newly produced CDs, a 'noise-absorbing corner,' band photos, and videos. The space was intentionally designed to create diverse acoustic situations, from the large hall acting as a resonance body to dedicated cinema rooms for projections and concerts.
