It seems, as observed in the London art scene this summer, we are approaching a new tendency of understanding pictorial art as something beyond from just visual. There have been three simultaneous installations in important institutions of the city, all of them using involving acoustic environments to alter, or maybe I should be saying improve, the optical experience.
In an isolated room, with one only artwork to focus upon, the viewer is invited to take a deep breath and listen, to walk around the room and appreciate how every little change in the environment changes our perception of the painting, to slowly learn that enjoying art is much more than watching pretty pictures.
