Exhibition in Nature Morte Gallery in Berlin

Matthew from Mu-Mu composed and helped install this Light and Sound installation with The Artist and Ian Jenkins.

Nature Morte is pleased to announce UNDERPASS, Mark Prime's first Berlin exhibition.

Quietly occupied with light and sound over many years, Mark Prime (b. 1963, United Kingdom) engages these elements in a site-specific installation, UNDERPASS, at Nature Morte, Berlin. Prime’s first exhibition in Berlin opens on the 15th of November and remains on view until 7 February 2014.

Underpass takes its cues from the Light and Space movement of the 1960s in California, drawing on the artist’s abiding interest in minimalism and geometric abstraction together with his experience as a musician and composer in the 1980s and 1990s. In this installation, Prime explores the visual irregularities born of seriality and repetition, the breaks and glitches in everyday patterns, and the simple synchronicity between light and sound. Engaging with elements of architecture, Underpass speaks to experiences of urban spaces that are immediate and recognizable while immersing viewers in a sensory environment that is haunting and unfamiliar.

The sound piece for Underpass has been composed by Prime in collaboration with Matthew Devenish of UK sound innovators, Celluloid. Mark Prime’s career of two-decades in music led to a degree in Visual Arts and Media in Cheltenham in the mid-90s. His multi-media practice has included various site-specific installations across cities in India, where he has lived and worked over the past eight years.

Art Installation for Turner Prize Winner Martin Creed

Mu-Mu also are known for their cutting edge approach to AV installations for Art Galleries.

An installation for The Turner Prize winning artist Martin Creed was devised and installed with Mark Prime of PrimeArtProjects, originally in The Hauser and Wirth Gallery in Piccadilly, It was also installed at The Ikon gallery in Birmingham in 2006. It is just going to be installed in a lift as part of The SouthBank Choral festival as work 409.

The methodology involved using wireless sensors in the lift, and audio speakers, all being controlled from a Mac running Max/MSP.

The Work No. 371: Elevator ooh/aah up/down 2004. A beautiful four-part sung harmony, encountered through travelling in the gallery’s elevator. As it moves, the voices sing a musical scale, chromatically up or down.

Here is a YouTube link to the version at The Ikon Gallery Lift
