Bernhard Leitner: P.U.L.S.E.: Spaces in Time / Räume der Zeit (2008) [English/German]

Bernhard Leitner (*1938) is an artist widely known for his sound sculptures and sound installations. P.U.L.S.E. documents a range of his works made between 1999 and 2008.

“Sound spaces are not simply spaces in which sounds can be heard, but rather, where sounds first create the space, shaping its special characteristics. Audio events can create not only a special experience of the external, surrounding space, they can also make it possible to experience physical space as ‘internal’ space. Leitner’s work leads to acoustic qualities (of space) that remain hidden in the stream of stimuli, and it shows us opportunities for sensuous experience that we are barely aware of, since they have been lost or because their potential has remained unrecognized.” (Cathrin Pichler)

Texts by Boris Groys, Detlef B. Linke, Peter Weibel, conversation with the artist by Stefan Fricke.
