About this activity.

CURVE

FIFTH BEACON OF HI-LO: CURVE TO BE REEXPERIENCED

With Baken Marrum/Vlieland: Curve, a classic among 'accessible' sculptures gets new life. The inflatable work 'Curve' by Cocky Eek in collaboration with Schweigman& is being redeployed at two locations. It is a great opportunity to experience this work!

Curve is a dizzying tunnel; the visitor enters the work on foot and alone, and undergoes a journey without visual guidance. With every step, in a cadence that is reinforced by a sophisticated sound composition, the outside world drifts further away. The visitor undergoes a disorienting journey in which light, material, movement, sound and architectural form merge. A total experience in a magical and alienating world.

Spatial artist Cocky Eek created the spectacular installation Curve in 2015, in collaboration with Schweigman& (theatre maker Boukje Schweigman). In this summer's installation, the work will have a new soundtrack by Machinefabriek.

NEW SOUND COMPOSITION FOR CURVE

Machinefabriek (pseudonym of composer Rutger Zuydervelt) created a new, enchanting 8-channel soundscape for Curve that will guide the visitor on his journey via 24 speakers. Machinefabriek was inspired by the walking cadence of the visitor and the absence of visual stimuli. The original version of Curve featured a composition by Martin Franke. This will also be heard at the first location, in Het Lage Noorden in Marrum.
