<div>Sound is an essential part of contemporary art. Yet musical
instruments, which are simultaneously sculptures, represent a recent
development that is still relatively unknown. In the international
group exhibition<i> Big Orchestra</i> the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt
presents artworks that also perform as musical instruments. The
playing of these sculptural instruments is the focus of the
exhibition, a concept that is itself in a state of flux. For the
duration of the show, the Schirn will become a temporary concert hall
in which the works are activated and visitors can experience their
sound live. Mobile display architecture will create space for
workshops in which the sound of the instruments is explored by
musicians in changing ensembles and subsequently presented in
concerts. The show includes works by 16 artists: Doug Aitken, Nevin
Aladag˜, Allora & Calzadilla, Carlos Amorales, Tarek Atoui,
Cevdet Erek, Guillermo Galindo, Hans van Koolwijk, Constantin Luser,
Christian Marclay, Caroline Mesquita, Rie Nakajima, Carsten Nicolai,
Pedro Reyes, Naama Tsabar, and David Zink Yi.</div>
