there is no stasis
an installation / a spatial intervention / a performance
During my artist residency at the Mahler-LeWitt Studio in Spoleto, I created a new site-specific installation and performance in response to Torre Bonomo, a medieval tower that was once used as Sol Lewitt’s studio in the 1970s.
In this new piece, I continue my exploration with the concept of emptiness, resonance, chance and the threshold between sites and bodies.
The activated architecture reveals different states, sounds and moods whilst the visitors become part of the energy field of the space, enhancing or absorbing the resonating frequencies generated by a microphone-speaker feedback loop in an oval room.
The piece is created in dialogue with fellow resident artists Abbas Zahedi and Nisha Ramayya, and along with artwork from crucial exhibitions in the past: The ‘blue cave’ where my microphone and speaker is installed is painted by Nicola de Maria, produced on the occasion of his Torre a Scoppio exhibition, 1982.
Exhibition history:
July 2023, Torre Bonomo, Spoleto
Open Studio by Zhuo Mengting, Nisha Ramayya, Abbas Zahedi
