AiR 2023 / Petra Dubach & Mario van Horrik (NL)

Artist-in-residency project Trans(port)(l)ation, in which artists use special music boxes to set bus and trolleybus timetables to music. 

May 15–26, 2023

Petra Dubach and Mario van Horrik are Dutch sound artists, based in Eindhoven, working as an artistic duo from 1983. Their work includes concerts, installations, performances, works in progress, media translations, videos and objects.

The starting point for their artistic work is the notion, that movement and sound are identical; without movement (vibration) nothing can be heard.

In Pardubice, they were developing their project called Trans(port)(l)ation. They use special music boxes to set bus and trolleybus timetables to music.

During their residency project, there was also an informal meeting and performance for the public. Local artists Jan Dudešek and Zdeněk Závodný also took part in the performance.
