The fair’s collaboration with the museums of Fondazione Torino Musei continues. For Artissima 2022, under the title So will your voice vibrate, three sound installations by Riccardo Benassi, Darren Bader and Charwei Tsai are presented respectively at GAM—Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Palazzo Madama–Museo Civico d’Arte Antica, and MAO Museo d’Arte Orientale.
At MAO Museo d’Arte Orientale, Charwei Tsai (mor charpentier gallery, Paris, Bogotà) presents the sound work AH (2011). It is a video originally created for a public space, at the time of the festival “A Tapestry of Sacred Music” of Singapore. The work celebrates religious harmony and diversity in the world, using the voices of people with different vocal timbres, singing the syllable “Ah”. “Ah” is a sacred sound which many major religions use in ritual and votive expressions, such as “A-llah”, “A-men”, “A-mitabha”, “A-llelujah” and “A-OM”. The work sets out to nurture a sense of inner peace and lightness inside all of us.
