Brian Eno's Light and Sound Installations at Palazzo Te, Mantua
British musician and visual artist Brian Eno presents two works at Palazzo Te in Mantua: '77 Million Paintings for Palazzo Te' and 'The Ship'. The former is a site-specific version of his 2006 generative video project, projecting ever-changing image combinations onto the Renaissance facade to create a 'painting of light'. The latter is an extended soundscape based on a track from his latest album, exploring the relationship between music and environment. The installations coincide with Mantua's designation as Italian Capital of Culture 2016. Eno also has a solo show at Galleria Valentina Bonomo in Rome, featuring new light boxes and speaker flowers that continue his exploration of time, light, and sound.
