SONIC PAVILION
The sonic pavilion will be the permanent home for a new work of art by Doug Aitkin for INHOTIM Contemporary Art Park outside Belo Horizonte in Brazil. Just completed, we are very excited to be able to show it to you.

At the center of the pavilion is a small hole that reaches deep into the earth (600ft). At the bottom of the hole hangs a very sensitive microphone that feeds to a number of speakers back at the surface of the earth. The sound heard inside the pavilion is an amplified live fed of the moving interior of the earth. The sound is treated subtly and will have a quality that is both hypnotic and at times aggressive.


You enter the pavilion from below. Coming up though the earth, you spiral into the pavilion of sound.
From the pavilion the view is sureal.

Here are a few images from when we were there last. This is one of the many pavilions set in the lush Brazilian landscape. This pavilion features the artist Adriana Varejão. The sketch is ours.






Pictures were forbidden in this gallery space for by Doris Salcedo where with a heavy pressure machine chainlink is pressed into the sheetrock wall of the gallery. The affect is astounding, beautiful, minimal and overwhelmingly powerful.


Outside Olafur Eliasson's piece.


A crazy bit of jungle. This part was designed by Burle Marx.

Inhotim is a truly amazing place. For a link to the Art Park click here. INHOTIM.
