SECOND–FORMS 4 – Interpretation of sheets of music of Leoš Janáček
27. 11. 2014 16:00–16:00
Památník Leoše Janáčka / Brno
This year we have organized, already for the fourth time, an exhibition on the interpretation of sheets of music of one of the most noticeable composers of the 20th century, Leoš Janáček, through Czech and foreign plastic artists. The main idea is the connection of Janáček´s work with the world of plastic artists and the art loving public and the question of the possibility of mutual communication between music and picture, between the musical and plastic expression. The concept of the exhibition was the following: each of the participating artists received a notation of one of Janáček´s compositions, either in printed form or as a facsimile of the composer´s autograph, according to the artist´s choice. The artists could thus react to the graphic form of the work, the text component or the music content encoded in the notation.
This year´s exhibition respects again the principle of the choice of the artists so that the final result includes as various approaches to the given task as possible: Karel Adamus, Peter Graham, Annegret Heinl, Dalibor Chatrný, Pavel Korbička, Ivan Kříž, Aleš Lamr, Jan Steklík, Lenka Sýkorová, Miloš Šejn, Jiří Šigut and Miroslav Šnajdr.
The exhibition accompanied by a catalogue is part of the international festival Janáček Brno 2014.
