Florian Hecker
12 February – 28 March 2010
Chisenhale Gallery
Chisenhale Gallery is pleased to announce a major solo exhibition by Florian Hecker, his first in a UK public institution, comprising a new installation of sound pieces co-commissioned by Chisenhale Gallery, London and IKON Gallery, Birmingham. Hecker's new commission continues his investigation of sound in relation to the body and space, employing idiosyncratic psychoacoustic propositions in order to examine and disrupt spatial perception.
Talks and Events
Saturday 27 February, 2pm Independent writer and curator David Bussel leads a tour of the exhibition. Thursday 18 March, 7pm Robin Mackay, philosopher and editor of the journal Collapse, discusses how Florian Hecker's engineering of perception-as-hallucination invokes a fundamental philosophical question that haunts the scientific discipline of psychoacoustics: What is an (auditory) object?
