Description
Sound - Space - Perception
How can one inhabit a sound? What perspectives open up through the encounter of space, resonance and perception? And how are participants changed in the process? With Space Synthesis, artist and composer Jan St. Werner, known as one half of the duo Mouse on Mars, designs a radically new understanding of sound and space. The interplay between the two becomes a method of exploring architecture and social contexts.
Space Synthesis is the catalog for Jan St. Werner's first solo exhibition and, at the same time, the document of a practice that turns against seemingly fixed knowledge and explores the productive power of sound from multiple perspectives. Numerous contributions deepen the understanding of his artistic work.
Texts by: Michael Akstaller, Nikola Bojic, Louis Chude-Sokei, Damir Gamulin, Cagla Ilk, Gascia Ouzounian, Patricia Reed, Jan St. Werner, Oswald Wiener

Werner has taught at the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Arts, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) in Boston, and the New York University Tisch School of the Arts in Berlin.
