Weltweite Bekanntheit erlangten Janet Cardiff und George Bures Miller mit ihren raumgreifenden Klangarbeiten. Dem kanadischen Künstlerpaar ist es gelungen, die Welt der Klänge, der Stimmen und der Musik in die Skulptur zu überführen und damit ein neues Genre zu prägen. Für ihr innovatives Lebenswerk, in dem sich die Grenzen zwischen Klangkunst, Hörspiel, Konzert, Kino und Theater auflösen, wurden sie 2020 mit dem renommierten Wilhelm-Lehmbruck-Preis ausgezeichnet. Mit Texten von Söke Dinkla, Stefan Trinks und Ronja Friedrichs, persönlichen Statements von Weggefährt:innen des Künstlerpaares und einer reichen Bebilderung gibt der Katalog einen tiefen Einblick in ihre Arbeit. Ergänzt durch Skizzen, Videostills und QR-Codes wird das multimediale Werk erlebbar gemacht.

The sound installations and sound images by the Canadian artist duo Janet Cardiff & Georges Bures Miller have received international acclaim. Over a period of years, Ingvild Goetz has incorporated an entire series of works by Cardiff (b. 1957 in Ontario) and Miller (b. 1960 in Alberta) into her collection. This publication is the first to present them all together, providing details about their creation and references and shedding light on their place in the artists' oeuvre. In doing so, particular focus is placed on the key importance of sound as well as the special way that Cardiff & Miller deal with this very important-yet usually only subliminally perceived-aspect of current media art.0Exhibition: Haus der Kunst, Munich, Germany (13.4.-8.7.2012).0.

This renowned Canadian duo's audio and video works and installations examine the complexity and vertiginous nature of subjectivity in a technological world, where man is caught between present and the loss of self, between memory and experience, perception and imagination. Cardiff and Miller create interactive pieces in which the visitor is invited to touch, listen, smell and move about freely. This new catalogue presents five of those works, including "Paradise Institute" and "The Forty-Part Motet," as well as three created within the last year, all documented in installation photographs and on a DVD. With an essay from art critic and historian Jorg Heiser.
