Valgeir Sigurðsson - Perpetual Motion - CAS

A collaborative work by label founder Valgeir Sigurðsson and Reykjavík based contemporary artist Sigurður Guðjónsson: PERPETUAL MOTION is available on Audio Cassette and Digital Download.

This release is available exclusively via Bandcamp*.

PERPETUAL MOTION is the soundtrack to Sigurður Guðjónsson's multisensory sculpture created for the 59 International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, and presented at the Icelandic Pavilion in Arsenale, Venice.

The interplay of sound and vision features throughout Guðjónsson’s oeuvre. The artist uses intricate soundscapes as the foundation of his works, drawing out the acoustic properties of his visual investigations to create a stronger link to the subject matter. Perpetual Motion features a visceral, 45 minute long soundtrack delivered in ‘vertical stereo’ which was co-created by the artist himself and Valgeir Sigurðsson.

The artwork offers a poetic exploration of materiality at the edge of the boundaries of perception, powerfully combining moving images and sound to activate the space and create an entrancing, meditative experience for visitors.
