Jiří bartoš / Robert Vlasák - Fields of Acoustics

In the exhibition project Fields of Acoustics Jiří Bartoš and Robert Vlasák are meeting thanks to their common interest in sound and various technologies. The continuous progression and inventive technological solution, working with new materials and developing equipment for sound reproduction are actually their source of inspiration, as well as the bequest of traditional materials and technologies.

Jiří Bartoš and Robert Vlasák are two artists who both approach their work differently. Robert Vlasák works in the field of visual art and focuses on the object and spatial installation. Jiří Bartoš is mainly engaged in applied arts – design.

The medium of sound is a uniting element of this exhibition as the main topic viewed from two angles. Also this exhibition project deals with the question of an imaginary border between the contemporary visual art and contemporary design.

The title Fields of Acoustics abstracts the topic of the exhibition as a whole. The term “field of acoustics” refers to the area of audibility, the entire range of sound which the human ear is still able to capture. Physiologically, human auditory field is capable of capturing sound in the frequency 16 – 20 000 Hz.

The authors used the exhibition as a space for creating new artworks, which not only reveal the process of sound and acoustics, but also display the nature and quality of new materials and technologies, such as 3D print and CNC machining.
