Investigating sound
Southwest China's Guizhou province is inhabited by several ethnic groups and famed for its magnificent landscape and diverse culture and arts. That has motivated creators of contemporary art to make installations, which are now on show at Blooming Echoes. The exhibition has been mounted by Beijing Times Art Museum. It shows 14 artworks that investigate the role of sound — from living things in nature, city life to artistic activities — as an embodiment of history and culture. Artists Zhao Yan, Liu Haofan and Xiao He are jointly presenting a work in which singing and performances of musical instruments of ethnic groups in Guizhou are interwoven and take on a new look with the help of artificial intelligence. Another artist, Zhang Zhen, has created a work showing the distinctive Danxia landform and the rich water resources of the province, reflecting on the interaction between people and the environment, technology and social development. The exhibition runs through to Feb 27.
