Christina Kubisch is one of the pioneers of sound art, with numerous sound installations, performances and compositions to her credit, along with an extensive body of accompanying material that actually forms the springboard for her work. Included are drawings, visual musical scores and text and image sketches from the last 35 years, most of which have never before been shown.Topics treated include architecture, acoustics, the composition process, electronic sound generation, electro-magnetic induction, observations on the listener’s behavior, studies on light phenomena in connection with acoustics and the »beauty« of the drawing itself as basis for translating an abstract idea into a three-dimensional sound installation. Kubisch received the German Sound Art Award in 2008.
