Panels. An inquiry into the spatial, the sonic and the public
NAiM/Bureau Europa
Avenue Céramique 226
6221 KX Maastricht
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 11.00-17.00
From 12 September to 16 January the installation entitled Panels by artist Paul Devens can be experienced, viewed and heard in NAiM/Bureau Europa. The installation occupies the whole upper hall of 800 m2 with a very specific architecture consisting of a semicircular concrete shell roof. The work by Paul Devens offers an intensified architectonic experience in which sound and light play a major role.
Unique symposium
The Panels installation by Paul Devens will create exceptional conditions for a symposium and a series of performances on space and sound. At Devens’s request, a number of artists, theorists and architects will give lectures and performances at the heart of this installation. The symposium will cover topics such as the relationship between sound, image and architectonic space, which was initiated with the Philips Pavilion for the World Expo in 1958. For the realization of this Pavilion, the architect Le Corbusier collaborated with the architect/composer Iannis Xenakis and the composer Edgar Varése, who wrote the notorious Poème Électronique especially for this occasion.
