Sonic Station
Sonic Station, Boštjan Drinovec & Primož Oberžan
RSR | Rotovž Exhibition Salon, Trg Leona Štuklja 2
Opening: Monday, 20 June 2011 at 19:00
The project Sonic Station combines two individual installations − Beatnik and Photon Bells − intertwining sonic and spatial experiences with light effects. By using a massive metal construction, recycled material and with an interactive approach, the artists research the implementation of de-montage and re-construction of waste material in artefacts and thus wipe out the boundaries between instruments and sculptures in their traditional sense. The participation of the audience who are invited by the artists to become acquainted in a playful and funny way with different sonic and light phenomena and forms is of key importance to their art project.
The sculptor Boštjan Drinovec (1973) graduated and received his master from the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts and Design, where he has been lecturing at the Department of Design since 2008. He is involved in art projects within Metelkova mesto and regularly attending group and solo exhibitions at home and abroad.
Primož Oberžan (1973) is active in the fields of music and sound exploration. As founder and leader of the band The Stroj, he has been accomplishing his musical visions for over a decade by the use of a music machine made of waste materials and implementing ten percussionists and performers. During the recent years, he has been working as a musical pedagogue at the percussion school Strojnica and as guest lecturer in the fields of cymatics and meta-mechanics.
