The Great Animal Orchestra at Fondation Cartier
The Fondation Cartier in Paris presents 'Le Grand Orchestre des Animaux', an exhibition running from July 2, 2016 to January 8, 2017. The show is based on the 2012 book 'The Great Animal Orchestra' by Bernie Krause, which explores the origins of music in nature. The exhibition translates Krause's research into an immersive installation, featuring soundscapes of animal vocalizations and visual artworks that highlight the acoustic ecology of the natural world.
