Coal and Petrochemical Soundscapes: Some Personal Thoughts

This piece was my contribution to the exhibition Frontiers of Solitude, which is based on a long term collective experiment by twenty artists and curators from Iceland, Norway, Czech Republic and Great Britain. The exhibited works were created as a part of the ongoing project and were inspired by experiences and information garnered during short research expeditions to Finnmark in Arctic Norway, to a coal basin in north Bohemia and throughout selected regions of Iceland. Thus, the project has turned into an art-research probe into the topography of three geographically, geologically, climatically, culturally and socially rather different parts of Europe. The exhibition gives the possibility of searching for unexpected connections and finding variances or opposites.
