UVA United Visual Artists
Great Animal Orchestra
The Fondation Cartier invited United Visual Artists to collaborate on The Great Animal Orchestra, exhibition that celebrates the work of musician, bio-acoustician and scientist Bernie Krause. Krause has been recording animals for 45 years and has amassed a collection of more than 5,000 hours of sounds recording of over 15,000 individual species in their natural habitats from all over the world. UVA’s creative approach linked together the various exhibition content elements throughout the basement space — soundscapes, spectrograms and art works — into a cohesive, immersive experience that three-dimensionalises Krause’s recordings and suggests scenes from the natural world. The spectrograms form an abstract landscape, an interpretation of the various global locations and times of day that Krause made the original recordings in a way that envelops the audience and encourages them to linger in the space.

Ear Tone Box
“I am interested in transforming various mundane objects into speakers. Listening to sound through a cardboard box is very different from listening through a chair, which is very different from listening through computer speakers. In these works, I am attempting to expand aural dimensions by orchestrating flexible listening situations, which draw attention to the materiality and variation of sound as filtered through these objects.”

Lara Bohinc
Orbit Chair in Black
In the collection, Lara Bohinc develops her stellar themes, finding inspiration in planetary and lunar orbits, whose gravitationally curved trajectories drive the lines and shapes of the chairs. Constructed from thin square rod, the chairs are elegant, minimal and delicate. They are finished in galvanised steel and wool fabrics by Kvadrat.

LI EDELKOORT AND MOHAIR SOUTH
The fibrous texture of tissue, the fuzzy follicles of hair, the string-like strands of veins and the bouncing qualities of flesh and skin all provide a starting point for new techniques and colors. Creating a fashion to mirror our own image, celebrating humankind. Mohair is the fiber that can create our splitting image; a versatile fiber that can translate all of these ideas and more, ranging from silk-like furry yarns to entangled textured blends.

“马丁内·费佩尔（Martine Feipel）和让·贝查梅尔（Jean Bechameil）的工作之初，是意识到感觉的感知具有生理学上的局限性，而且我们对空间的观念在历史上已经过时。超越一个地方的极限去寻找一个新的地方，这归结为思考边界的意义和空间的意义，这主要是传统的结果，重要的是不要通过跨越或超越法律来极限，而是在前一个空间的中心“打开”一个空间，这个开口不会创造新的空间来占据，而是一种隐藏在极限旧含义内的口袋。按照滑移原理，空间的这种内部滑移和空间的再现总是意味着一个机构的破坏，“空间”一词的含义被极大地破坏了稳定性，在这方面，我们两位艺术家非常关注主题，因为空间管理处于危机中。我们认为该空间是生活空间，同时也是行动，方向和交流的空间。科学技术的发展，对世界和传统价值体系的特殊见解的侵蚀，经济的结构性危机以及逻辑问题的加剧，对传统的空间和管理观念提出了质疑，这种观念只考虑了以下领域：能力，并沉迷于增长和价值约束。我们生活在一个突变的时代，过去的定向和行动模式不再起作用。” RenéKockelkorn
