Pélagie Gbaguidi

El programa expositivo del MUSAC está marcado por la propia disposición espacial de las salas en su conjunto. Centrado en una línea conceptual y social cercana a los postulados generales del museo y de su colección, las grandes exposiciones de MUSAC se despliegan a lo largo de las Salas 1 a 6 del museo, con un total de más de 3.600 m².El Laboratorio 987 se entiende como "sala de proyectos" del museo, a través de la cual se invita a comisarios jóvenes a realizar un proyecto curatorial concreto, más dinámico y versátil en sus propuestas que las grandes muestras. El Proyecto Vitrinas, situado en el vestíbulo del museo, suele albergar proyectos específicos, habitualmente centrados en labores editoriales, pedagógicas o relacionadas con la arquitectura.

Be Art Magazine on HOMING at Art15 London

Jenna Burchell

Another interactive, and quite interesting, piece was Homing by Jenna Burchell. Presented by the Sulger-Buel-Lovell from Cape Town, this evolutive “memory harp” plays sounds taken from our everyday environments, allowing the visitors to create their own tune. And, as the artist regularly adds new strings and sounds from the cities where the piece is shown, Homing also appears as a living organism, a universal creature, building delicates links between people and cultures from various countries.
