Sound art at the cathedral square: vernissage with innovative furniture on October 24th

in St. Pölten, the cathedral square is transformed into a pulsating experience from October 24 to December 19 by a creative art project. The interior business "Supertisch" and the sound art initiative "Ima" have teamed up to create an unconventional event that combines art and music. The vernissage is opened at 5 p.m. by the artist Patricia Cadavid, known as "Andina", with an impressive sound performance, in which the traditional Khipu instrument is in the foreground.

The curator Tamara Wilhelm explains that the partnership between "Supertisch" and IMA aims to enliven the cathedral square and create a connection between art and public space. “Supertisch” provides the premises for the installed sound furniture, which were specially designed for this exhibition. The work of the artists Chris Janka, Ulla Rauter and Klaus Filip could have a captivating effect on many visitors.

sound and design combined

A highlight of the exhibition is a pleasure made of glass tubes that Chris Janka sounds. The interaction of thermodynamics and the frequencies of the materials create a unique sound experience. At Ulla Rauter, an innovative paravent is installed, which observes the public space with a camera and converts the visual impressions into an acoustic representation by transmitting the image description created by a AI. Klaus Filip, on the other hand, transforms ordinary chairs into lively sound bodies by equipping them with lifting magnet, which culminates in a rousing choreography that transforms the chairs into "Dancing Chairs".

The vernissage on October 24th offers guests the opportunity to personally contact the artists. "We would like to enable visitors to learn more about the sound objects and their origin," says Tamara Wilhelm. In this way, the audience is not only integrated into passers -by, but actively into the experience world of sound art.

Admission to the exhibition is free of charge, and visitors can visit the works from Wednesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. This type of art performance could not only arouse the interest of art lovers, but also address people who want to discover something special in everyday objects. In the coming weeks, the cathedral square will become a fascinating place for art and sound.
