Curator’s statement:
What is the tone of a place? In December 1967 Glenn Gould addressed this question in his radio broadcast – The Idea of North – using a technique he called contrapuntal radio to manifest multiple voices simultaneously. In a poetic reference to Gould’s work this exhibition is entitled The Idea of North and is a meditation on the idea of – North – as a perception of place and locality rather than a geographic position.
The Idea of North is a three-part exhibition of contemporary sound art from Canada Iceland and Norway that addresses the concept of the locality of sound. The Idea of North is a curatorial collaboration between curators in Canada (Rhonda Corvese) Iceland (Hekla Dogg Jonsdottir and Solveig Alda Halldorsdottir) and Norway (Yngvild Faeroy and Søssa Jørgensen). This collaborative curatorial process brings together three diverse groups of sound artists in three distinct exhibitions in Canada Iceland and Norway.
The exhibition is supported by the Arts Council Norway Asono Atelier Nord Office for Contemporary Art Norway NRK Ulyd NOTAM the Canada Council for the Arts the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada le Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec The Glenn Gould Estate and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
The gallery is open every day exept Monday 11 am. – 7 pm.
