Inspired by his summer residencies at Akademie der Künste in Berlin and the Institute for Speculative and Critical Inquiry in Porto, award-winning sound artist and composer Debashis Sinha activates Modeling, the exhibition space on the Floor 2 at MOCA, with a bespoke and singular sound performance responding to the current exhibition, HOUSE OF CARD by Thomas Demand.
Working in quadraphonic sound with newly composed material expressly designed to reveal the boundaries of physical architecture, Sinha weaves new sound forms responding to and in interplay with the mediations on space and structure that characterise the works by Demand and others currently on display.
