About The Work

Mur du son is an original composition created in 1991 by Bernar Venet, in which he recorded the jet engines of a Concord. Here, it is presented as a musical partition of which one part is covered in black wax pencil. For the first time, this art work is presented in its whole. It is accompanied by the hand written poem "Black and Black" written by the artist in 1963. A sound record on a CD il also attached to the edition.

About Bernar Venet

Bernar Venet is a visual artist. In 1958, he joined the Villa Thiole in Nice and then became assistant set designer at the Opera of Nice. In 1966, he moved to New York where he painted and sculpted mostly wood and steel. His steel sculptures (or “Indeterminate Lines”) were exhibited in many urban spaces across France and worldwide. Lines, in all their different forms (straight lines, curved lines, broken lines and indeterminate lines), have punctuated Venets’s work since the sixties. Constructed from infinite points, these lines are the foundation of his work. A formalist, Venet created several variations on points: torch-cut steel points, drawn points, or in points in prints, illustrating the artist’s portfolio of poetry, etc. Between the points—the abstract idea—lines take hold of the viewer’s eye.

Venet has shown his work consistently since 1964 including Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Special Project at PS1, Long Island City, New York, Total Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea, Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá, Bogotá, Colombia, Shanghai Museum of Art, Shanghai, China, Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain (MAMCO), Geneva, Switzerland, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges-Pompidou, Paris, France and Museum Küppersmühle für Moderne Kunst, Duisburg, Germany.
