iTriennale MilanoParco Sempione
With Fondation Cartier: immersive audiovisual installations and graphic works from Patti Smith and Soundwalk Collective's field-recording collaboration.
Preview: written before the show opened
Every work here starts with a microphone. For about a decade Soundwalk Collective have made field recordings in remote corners of the world, picking up traces left by poets, film-makers and revolutionaries, and evidence of climate change. They send the recordings to Patti Smith, who answers in words and in her own voice.
Triennale and the Fondation Cartier call this the most significant and ambitious version of Correspondences so far. It fills the Cubo on the first floor with audiovisual installations of sound, video and text, plus graphic and mixed-media works. Come ready to listen: sound is the core of each piece, and the images follow it. Soundwalk Collective is two people, Odessa-born artist Stephan Crasneanscki and Milan-born producer Simone Merli.
Tickets aren't on sale yet, and entry is included in Triennale membership. It's open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:30 to 20:00, with last entry at 19:00. On the opening nights, 26 and 27 November, the artists perform Correspondences Live at Teatro Lirico Giorgio Gaber, ticketed separately through TicketOne.
