Sound pavilion in front of the Museumsquartier Vienna

The tenth anniversary of Klangspuren Schwaz (Schwaz Sound Traces) and, coincidentally, of the Gallery of the Town of Schwaz, formed the occasion for the erection of a pavilion featuring an installation by the Austrian artist Martin Walde in the forecourt of the Vienna Museum Quarter. Walde equipped the pavilion with numerous pieces of rope and string of the most variegated provenance. Each visitor leaves behind his or her tracks in the ever more closely knotted conglomerate of ropes. The ropes form a spatial sculpture and they can also be used as seating objects. Headphones are hung from the ceiling, making available to listeners a complete set of premieres of Klangspuren Schwaz (Schwaz Sound Traces).

The pavilion thus turns into a sound room, which further transforms itself, after the onset of darkness, into a body of light that points out the position of the project within the boundaries of the town.
