Nathalie Bruys is an audio artist and was co-curator of 'Sonic Voices, Rocking Hard'. Her own way of working formed the heart of the exhibition. Bruys is interested in a multidisciplinary art practice. In addition to the fascination with sound and music, the artists Bruys has brought together for this show her wide-branching interest.
'Sonic Voices, Rocking Hard' showed a personal selection by Bruys from very diverse approaches and art forms that make use of sound and music. The works have been created by young artists with highly varied backgrounds. What they had in common is a sincere love of music, audio and art within their multifaceted artistic universe.
'Sonic Voices, Rocking Hard' presented forms of 'audio art' that appealed to the imagination, including speaker sculptures by Guy Bar Amotz and drawings by Jonas Ohlsson, Kim Hiorthøy, Nathalie Bruys and Jan Rohlf in which sound plays a role. Annika Ström shows her video 'The Missed Concert' and a text work. As well as looking at the drawings mentioned above, visitors to the gallery could also listen to a cd with music by Ohlsson, Hiorthøy, Ström and Bruys. Listening posts have been designed for hearing the cd. 'Sonic Voices, Rocking Hard' brought the visual and musical work that these artists produce together in one exhibition.
In addition there were works to be seen by musicians/artists who were better known for their musical creations than for their visual work. For instance, Planningtorock made a video installation for this exhibition with props that appear in her videos and video clips. Further there was a 3D video clip made for Björk by Encyclopedia Pictura exhibited in the form of an installation, and in the video lounge on the ground floor there were a number of video clips to be seen, for the Knife, CocoRosie, Bunny Rabbit & Black Cracker, and 'du da, ich da' by Heidi Happy, which was her graduation project at the Rietveld Academy in 2008. There was no distinction made between musician and visual artist or between visual artist and filmmaker. A number of those who made the videos also themselves made the music in them.
Nathalie Bruys draws her inspiration from the forms of sonic art and music mentioned here, and also shows her own personal multi-disciplinary practice in this exhibition. In addition to a new installation, drawings and a cd, she presented the web project 'Soundmuseum' which she initiated together with Katja van Stiphout. For this exhibition the 'Soundmuseum' has been incorporated in an audio installation, and went officially 'on air' on September the 14th in the Netherlands Media Art Institute. The 'Soundmuseum' collects online audio exhibitions and compiles and archives the sounds of sonic artists.
