Artist talk: Bill Fontana
Programmed by Lumen for Pavilion
22 May 2003 | The Leeds Club , Albion Place, Leeds | 6.15-8.15pm | Free

Bill Fontana is an American artist known internationally for his experimental work using sound. Fontana uses urban and natural environments as a living source of musical information to radically transform the acoustic meaning of public space. The artist will talk about past and future works including Speeds of Time, his current public art commission for the BBC which uses London’s Big Ben.

Fontana has received prestigious fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Japan U.S. Friendship Commission. His work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum Ludwig (Cologne) and the Art History and Natural History Museums in Vienna. His recent work includes a public art project in Paris called Sound Island (1994) at the Arc de Triomphe, Acoustical Visions of Venice (1999) commissioned for the 48th Venice Biennale and Falling Echoes (2002), an acoustic mapping sculpture commissioned for Creative Time’s Consuming Places exhibition in New York.
