Coral Visual
8 October – 5 November 2009, Casa de la Cultura, Buenos Aires, Argentina8 Oktober 5:30 p.m.: Discussion with the artists Gabriela Golder and Richard Grayson

The exhibition Coral Visual, a cooperation between Casa de la Cultura, the Ministerio de Cultura de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Siemens Fundación Argentina and the Siemens Stiftung, focuses on the subject of choirs – an unusual choice for the visual arts – and raises questions from the social angle that are far removed from purely musical issues. In the videos by Johanna Billing, Gabriela Golder, Richard Grayson, Sven Johne, Paul Pfeiffer, Markus Schinwald and Artur Žmijewski, the choir is placed at the centre of study, thus practically inverting the normal relationship between sound and image.
