Playing the Architecture: Relocating Vänhem
is part of Rachel Barron’s ongoing investigation into the sonic potential of architecture.
In 1873, Vänhem - a private residence situated in Gamlestan - was moved, in its entirety, to Nääs, where it became part of the internationally renowned School of Crafts.
Barron invites you to a performative process that transforms Temporary Stabilisations into a site specific installation. Composed of visual elements from Vänhem’s ornamental language, the installation relocates architectural fragments back to Gamlestan, where they will be re-framed and re-interpreted through sound.
The process will begin with a live performance, where analogue synth player Elin Piel is invited to translate a series of printed graphic notations into soundscapes. The soundscapes will then inform Barron’s performative installation in the gallery. The culmination of this process will be marked by a finissage, on Sunday 25th September.
