The Music Chamber is a curated space that brings together sonic or music related artworks and performance within artgeneva.

For this edition, the Music Chamber shows the work of two invited artists, Saâdane Afif and Elisa Storelli, together with artists from the MAMCO collection, and in addition, a selection of artists brought by two invited projects: the Biennale Son Valais and Joyfully Waiting.

In this exhibition conducted by sound, the pieces are positioned around a “tuning ceremony” conceived in collaboration with the Ensemble Contrechamps and students of the ECAL Bachelor in Visual Arts. This game of call and response between artworks and live, recorded, electronic or analog sound, extends the exhibition to a polyphonic quest unfolding throughout different moments of the day. What shall we tune to?

THE MUSIC CHAMBER is part of artgenève/musique, artgeneva’s platform for sound, performance and ephemeral works. Since 2012, more than 40 new works and projects have been realized in and outside Geneva.
