2nd night, Monday Brian Eno’s installation is part of the ‚Luminale’, an art fair which takes place in Frankfurt from 18th – 22th April 2004. Eno’s installation ‘Quite Club’ is placed at the glass arcades in the huge trade fair complex. Which is quite a contrast! 9 white trapezoids hang from the glass ceiling (3 huge static ones and 6 smaller which are slowly roting). Underneath is a white sitting complex (which also includes hidden loudspeakers). The basic music and sound backround comes from various speakers which are mounted near the ceiling. When I entered I couldn’t help thinking about a church. Eno’s very quite humming voice, the bare ambient sounds, sometimes overtones create a very sacred and beautifully haunting athmosphere- when one is willing to open up on it. For many busy trespassers this might not be worth a minute. For others- an invitation to take a rest. I have seen several Eno installations. Each time I had the feeling, that while there, time slows down. By sunset the surrounding slowly changed. Beams of black light illuminated the sitting complex as well as the trapezoids. Than different colored beams started to illuminate the trapezoids, the rotation of the smaller ones created beautiful shades/ color effects. Each of the 5 nights the installation is present, another DJ mixes/ reedits Eno’s installation music. However- I left earlier. I can’t help myself asking: ‘Why reworking something so beautiful and well balanced’? Eno did a great job here, the sounds leave enough space to allow people to think, imagine, have a conversation. It’s easy to ruin everything by adding more sounds, more samples, more……. I was told, that Eno himself was present all Sunday to talk to people and to enjoy the Quite Club he created. Several people mentioned that he is a very nice guy. |
