Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, 'Spell Casting'

In conjunction with the exhibition 'Atmosphere for Enjoyment: Harry Bertoia’s Environment for Sound,' MAD commissioned New York–based musicians Lizzi Bougatsos and Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe to create sound and video recordings with Sonambient sculptures.

'Atmosphere for Enjoyment' explores Bertoia's sounding or tonal sculptures. Collectively called Sonambient, these are works made of metal rods that make lush, resonant sounds when struck. Beginning in 1968, Bertoia began setting up an eighteenth-century stone barn on his property in Barto, Pennsylvania, to house and record these works, and this is where Bougatsos and Lowe made their recordings.

On April 11, 2016, Lowe performed this piece, "We Echo Now His Love," at the Sonambient Barn. Under the alias Lichens, he creates live, spontaneous compositions often described as otherworldly. Both artists' work, influences, emphases on percussion, ambient music and dedication to improvisation made them compelling performers to relate to and animate the sounding sculptures installed at the barn, an experience reflected here.

It is always interesting to listen to thoughtful people talking. I once said to a very stupid chap at work - I am not good at talking, meaning chic-chat talk bores me to death. But stupid as he is (meaning he is mostly incapable of real time interactions, because he is full of stigmas and sees people through stereotypes), he went on saying that I cannot speak well, whatever that mean.

ONCE UPON AN ARTIST. Chapter 1: HEAD from Marc Guardiola [ La Mafia ] on Vimeo.



Once Upon an Artist is a documentary series that narrates the experiences of the artists from a philosophical and poetic view. Each chapter is an interpretation of their work from a different approach. We use the tool of visual metaphor to redraw what our artists tell about their work. All during their work’s process.
In Chapter One, the sculptor Rubén Fuentes tells us how hard was to create a 1’5 meter sculpture made of compact quartz. We follow him throughout his inspirational journey

(go to Gianluca Gimini's bechance webPage)




I became the executor of these two minute projects by people who were mainly non-designers and confirmed my suspicion: everyone, regardless his age and job, can come up with extraordinary, wild, new and at times brilliant inventions.

… Let me explain everything from the beginning:
back in 2009 I began pestering friends and random strangers. I would walk up to them with a pen and a sheet of paper asking that they immediately draw me a men’s bicycle, by heart. Soon I found out that when confronted with this odd request most people have a very hard time remembering exactly how a bike is made. Some did get close, some actually nailed it perfectly, but most ended up drawing something that was pretty far off from a regular men’s bicycle.
Little I knew this is actually a test that psychologists use to demonstrate how our brain sometimes tricks us into thinking we know something even though we don’t.
