Experimental Art
GERMANY
Rolf Langebartels
is an artist, sculptor, and musician living and working in Berlin,
Germany. His audio art works, performances, and concerts are
exhibited and performed in Germany and throughout Europe since
1976.
"A central theme of his work is to apply the principles
of musical composition to sculpture. At present he works on
installations using light, sound, and kinetic
sculptures."
Rolf's primary interest
is with balance sculptures and installations, specifically
designed for a given space or location. In recent years, his
interest concentrates on sculptural works with sound; sound
installations or sound sculptures and concerts of site-specific,
electro-acoustic music. There are several samplings of these
intriguing works at his Web site.
Rolf founded the non-profit
Galerie Giannozzo in 1978 (now the art association
Kunstverein Giannozzo) where he serves as director.
He takes an active role to curate exhibitions and organize
festivals of new and experimental performance and sound art.
Artist, director, curator... Rolf also organizes symposiums about
theoretical aspects of art and music, and writes on the subject;
Sculptural Works with Sound and a New Mode of Hearing Music
is recently published in the Polish journal Tumult.
