Marco Fusinato: Constellations
PUBLISHED July 13th, 2015 02:36 am | UPDATED May 9th, 2018 03:13 am
In Constellations, multidisciplinary artist Marco Fusinato (b.1964, Melbourne) bisects the gallery with a 46 metre-long wall, which visitors are invited to strike with a baseball bat. The sound made by visitors’ strikes is amplified at 120 decibels, generating a noise equivalent to the sound of thunder. Referencing popular representations of violence in film and television series, Constellations explores Fusinato’s longstanding interest in reverberative noise: its dual qualities of destruction and perfection, and its capacity to structure physical spaces. The installation also explores the role of visitors by making them active participants in the creation of its sound.
Constellations is presented as part of the Singapore Night Festival 2015.
The event will run from 13 Aug – 29 Sep from 12pm – 7pm, Tue to Sun (Closed on Mondays and public holidays), at the Institute of Contemporary Art, LASALLE College of the Arts.
