Márcio-André: Suspension //// Labor (1053 Budapest, Képíró utca 6, Hungary) //// 24 February 2012 7pm //// http://labor.c3.hu
With Suspension, Márcio-André creates sounds live, using an electric violin suspended in space by elastic cords, microphones and other objects hung from the ceiling. Suspension, designed originally for the Eugenio Granell Museum in Spain, offers spatial streamlined relationship of the audience with poetry, approaching the art installation. The audience, inserted within the performance space, with his own body, gives different shapes to the sound produced. As each viewer is in a different relationship with the many speakers around the room, each person sees his own spectacle.
