Instrumental Baschet. La utopia ressonant

Opening of the exhibition: 17 April, at 19.00, with the participation of Martí Ruiz and Jordi Casadevall, curators and members of the Taller d'Escultura Sonora Baschet of the Facultat de Belles Arts…

The exhibition traces the career of the inventors Bernard and François Baschet, who from the mid-20th century developed an innovative approach centred on creating unusual musical instruments. Visitors can view a set of sound sculptures made from industrial and everyday materials, such as stainless steel, aluminium, cardboard and inflatable cushions, designed to produce complex sounds without the need for electricity.

The show proposes a meeting between art and science, highlighting the relationship between form, matter and sound through works conceived as pieces open to direct participation and sonic exploration. The exhibition also reflects the educational and social reach of this legacy, which has travelled through various institutions and is linked to the holdings of the Museu de la Música.

This route is designed for audiences interested in the intersection between artistic creation and acoustic research, offering a detailed view of these utopias ressonant within the programme of the Sala d'Exposicions Temporals in Barcelona.
