The Venice Pavilions I liked most part4 : POLAND

Everything was forever until it was no more it is surely one of the most impressive sound sculptures I have ever witnessed. Aesthetically impeccable this monumental work by Konrad Smolensky brings to life a tentative tabula rasa. The artist built this sound machine in order to provoke some unstable emotions amongst visitors who are protected by useful ear plugs . The made in Poland 400 kilos bronze bells transmit the sound through the sound system, made of wonderfully crafted woofer sculpture and the effect is a mixture of anxiety and pleasure.  Konrad is an active member of the pinkpunk Polish scene:try it yourself!. His edgy, noisy (but how beautiful can noise be!), vibrating installations are combining postpunk ethics with minimalistic aesthetics. GOD SPEED (YOU)..
