18 April–31 December 2015
Festival Animal Animalis
Abbaye Royale de Saint-Riquier, Saint-Riquier, France
Sculpture: Arman
Music and interactive musical system: Jacopo Baboni Schilingi
This presentation of La Vénus à gonds is a distinct version of the interactive and generative installation. At Saint-Riquier, Arman’s sculpture was accompanied by Jacopo Baboni Schilingi’s music and sounds from the animal kingdom.
Tita Reut’s texts were not used in this 2015 version. It differs from the original collaboration between Arman, Jacopo Baboni Schilingi and Tita Reut, which combined sculpture, music and spoken poetry.
Video — original version with Tita Reut
The video below documents the version with Tita Reut’s texts, rather than the animal-sound version presented at Saint-Riquier.
