SUMMARY:Akio Suzuki // stone
DESCRIPTION:Audio Visual Arts is extremely pleased to present a series
  of new works by Japanese sound art pioneer Akio Suzuki (b1941). Suzuk
 i’s work hasn’t been presented in New York since his show at the J
 apan House in 1983. His exploration as an artist began in 1963 with a 
 performance at Nagoya station, in which he threw a bucket full of junk
  down a staircase. The inspiration behind this performance — the ide
 a that if one were to hurl an object down a well-balanced stairway, a 
 pleasant rhythm might be the result — took the desire to “listen�
 � as its subject. That desire to hear, to listen has remained the one 
 constant in Suzuki’s stance as an artist. During the sixties, Suzuki
 ’s sense of playfulness led him to undertake a series of self-study 
 events, where he explored the processes of “throwing” and “follo
 wing”, utilizing the natural world as his collaborator. The experien
 ces he gained in these events led him in the seventies to invent an ec
 ho instrument he named Analapos. The instrument’s structure resemble
 s that of two mirrors facing each other, reflecting into infinity. As 
 an extension of the principles underlying Analapos, Suzuki constructed
  the Hinatabokko no kukan (Space in the Sun) in 1988. This space consi
 sts of two huge parallel walls, in between which the artist can sit an
 d purify his hearing by listening to the reflected sounds of nature. S
 uzuki comments, “Sound, which had been conceptually imprisoned in va
 rious spaces, is freed to circle the world.”\nFor his show at AVA, S
 uzuki will present a series of silent objects that invite viewers to i
 magine their sounds. Works on paper will be on display in addition to 
 a sculpture / instrument made out of Japanese bamboo. A performance wi
 ll take place at the opening of the show, on October 13th, at 4pm. Loc
 ation: Vacant lot across the street from AVA.\n\nFor more information
