Proposal to the Mayor II
2009

The work takes the form of a mobile sonic object constructed for the presentation of an “Exhibition of Frequency”: a collection of experimental audio works by a range of artists and composers from 1950 to the present.

The object is posed as a mobile museum of sonic art circulating through the city of Curitiba. Built from wood and including audio speakers and a battery-powered playback system, the museum acts to locate the collection within public space, opening up the city to a culture and practice of experimental sound. The mobile museum is proposed as a permanent addition to the network of museums in Curitiba. It thus seeks to encourage a discussion on sonic art and experimental music as particular art forms, which have the capacity to migrant across public space. Distributing and amplifying crafted frequency aims at stirring the life of the street with sonic imagination.

Exhibited at Ybakatu Gallery, Curitiba, Brazil.
