Den kanadiske kunstneren Jean-Pierre Gauthier arbeider med kinetiske lydkskulpturer. Han er aktuell med utstilling på Lydgalleriet 31. oktober - 18. november, workshop på BEK 4.-7. november og deltakelse på Piksel. Denne kvelden gir han en presentasjon av sin kunstneriske virksomhet på Hordaland kunstsenter.

Canadian Sound Artist Jean-Pierre Gauthier’s mobile sound installations express the delights of disorder. Objects such as tools, appliances, cleaning equipments, music instruments become strangely haunted, they move and produce sound freely. The viewer in contact with his work triggers a chain of event that is never predictable. His objects evolve in space with gracious movement and in a playful way, trying to get free of their physical and spatial limitations.
