Sound Art and Landscape: Group Show in Veneto Explores Nature Through Sound

The exhibition 'Silenzi d’alberi' at Villa Brandolini in Pieve di Soligo, Veneto, presents sixteen works by international artists exploring the relationship between humans and nature through sound art, a medium still uncommon in Italy. Curated by Daniele Capra and Silvia Longhi, the show draws inspiration from poet Andrea Zanzotto, who lived in the area and emphasized the importance of sound in reconnecting with nature. Works range from imitating natural phenomena to directly using natural elements like fire, wind, insects, and water. Featured artists include Alessandro Sciaraffa, Michele Spanghero, Donato Piccolo, Edgardo Rudnitzky, Matteo Nasini, Tamara Repetto, Adam Basanta, Douglas Henderson, Carlos Casas, and Roberto Pugliese. A site-specific installation by Christina Kubisch, 'La Serra', transforms the old greenhouses of the 18th-century villa into an interactive jungle-like environment with hundreds of yellow-green cables emitting field recordings of water, insects, and exotic birds, heard via custom headphones. The exhibition runs until a date not specified in the source.
