"Music, under your Feet"
Rolf Julius
installation with objects, sound, and video
"One should bend down more often to pick up the tones lying around everywhere. In Manhattan, I saw and heard the really huge and thick and loud tones, the brown and the violet, but also the little quiet ones between the cracks in the walls, under the bridges, and among the chirping crickets on Roosevelt Island." I noticed this in 1984 during my stay at PS-1 in Queens. Now I like to bring some of these small sounds into the gallery, sounds, I picked up during many years, together with some new visual ones."
Rolf Julius (b. 1939, Wilhelmshaven) lives in Berlin, Germany.
