Zimoun

In the West Galleries of the Museum of Art. The mechanized kinetic sculptures of Swiss artist Zimoun explore the complex and intricate tensions between the "artificial" and the "organic" in these playfully poetic installations of sound and movement.

Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of curiously collected material, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena blends effortlessly with electric reverberation in Zimoun's minimalist constructions.
