On Thursday evening, February 1, 2024, visual artist Rosa Barba presents her multidisciplinary performance VOICE ENGINE in Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen. On the fifth floor of the Depot, Barba creates an orchestral dialogue with films, sound and sculptures.
The artist's installation and performance follow her project Drawing Probable Conclusions, in which she explored the film and video collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in conversation with the museum's former curator of modern and contemporary art, Francesco Stocchi. The performances are also part of the Art Directions program of IFFR, as well as Rotterdam Art Week.
Set amidst film projectors and suspended glass panels, VOICE ENGINE (2021-2024) is activated by choral singers and based on a score by composer Eric D. Clark. Singers become protagonists, as their vocalizations trigger projectors to reveal images and text on a constellation of screens surrounding them.
Date: Thursday 1 February
Time: 6:30PM - 8:00PM
Cost: €9 regular, €4,50 students
Location: Gallery III, fifth floor, Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen
VOICE ENGINE has been commissioned by International Film Festival Rotterdam 2021, co-produced by Callie’s, Berlin, and remounted by Centre Pompidou 2023.
