As a central contribution to the MQ Summer of Sounds, 'Connecting Sound Etc. Cable Works, Cable Sounds, Cables Everywhere' is the first exhibition dedicated explicitly to cables in art. Works by more than fifty international artists provide an insight into the wide range of contemporary approaches to this apparently simple material. Often reduced to their pure functionality, artistic trends of recent years have elevated our appreciation of cables. Curated by Georg Weckwerth, this interdisciplinary show at freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL has a public preview on 4 June at 7pm, with a preview of the exhibition and the outdoor and satellite installations for the press at 11am on the same day.
