Ode to the meeting of Miss van E. and Mister van C.
Friday, March 25, 2016 at 14:32 tagged conceptual art, forest, love, public space, soundart Jeroen Diepenmaat is a Dutch artist with a predilection for sound, living and working in Deventer, the Netherlands. His works in public space are quite compelling. With a recent release on esc.rec., “Drums for Eugène”, and sound installation “Ode to the meeting of Miss van E. and Mister van C.”, his works are more and more leaning towards sound art. Another example of this is “belcanto”, where bells ring when you cycle over tubes.
“Ode…” consists of 83 music boxes in a forest in Diepenveen in the Netherlands, all playing two notes when a cord is pulled. When multiple boxes are activated, the noted come together, creating a melody.
Just like two people can meet each other coincidentally, and can become inseparable. A nice idea, and a nice intervention in public space.
