Audio for Red Couch
About:
At MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST, there’s a great seating option: a long, soft, red built-in couch. The couch faces away from the gallery spaces and toward a set of frosted windows. I kept thinking about the experience of having a really good place to rest paired with absolutely nothing to look at or do.As part of the set of work commissioned for Crip Time, I planned an audio piece for the red couch. Staff members from different museum departments were asked to describe the view from the window. (I was also interested in emphasizing that access is something that everyone at the museum has a role to play in).
The exhibition’s layout change, so we didn’t move forward with this piece, but here is the pilot recording from Mario and the set of instructions.
