Christina Kubisch had 24 of the more well known paintings in the collection of Ystad Art Museum replaced by flat loudspeakers looking like canvases. The information texts were removed as well, but read by the director of the museum, Thomas Millroth, and recorded by the artist. She then processed and used these recordings in her sound installation. In each loudspeaker you could thus hear which painting was replaced by the voice reading the info. Some of the speakers acted like soloists others in small musical groups – duos, trios etc. And in the rooms the visitors could hear mumbling voices changing after the movement of the visitor. You could hear instead of see.

26 minutes, three tracks. Work done for an installation at the Ysad Art Museum in Sweden, 2005. Multiple voices in Swedish, from orchestrated restaurant noise and human geese to a single ictus. Careful, as always and balletic: voices on points.
