Tvisöngur by LUKAS KÜHNE

TVISÖNGUR

TVISÖNGUR is a co-production of Skaftell Center for Visual Art and Goethe-Institute Denmark.

The permanent installation was built in 2012 and is located in the mountainside above the town of Seyðisfjörður, East Iceland.

“Tvísöngur” can be seen as a visualisation of the five tone harmony tradition. The round form is chosen for its acoustic properties as well as its visual function in the landscape. It is a unique combination of the visual and the auditory senses. The Icelandic “Tvisöngur“ becomes a sculpture of “singing concrete”.

“Tvísöngur” relates to a series of public sculptural works by the artist dealing with musical forms; one of which is the sculpture “Cromatico” in Tallin, Estonia 2011 and “Organum“ in Hailuoto, Finland 2014.
