ABSTRACT
A specialized percussionist in contemporary music, Neuhaus has performed music by Luigi Russolo, Edgar Varese and John Cage; these composers introduced noise in music conferring it an aesthetic value. Music is taken out of concert halls and into urban contexts. At the same time, visual artists are removing their urban artwork from museums and art galleries and re-placing it into urban and extra-urban contexts, with the first Land Art and Public Art proposals. Neuhaus interacts with public spaces and daily life. He introduced an invisible and intangible mass of sound at the crossroads, radically transforming the environment. His work is based on the construction of sonic experiences, the premise being that the ear provides crucial information for our existence and that such information is not perceptible by sight. The sonic sculpture consisted in seven radio transmitters positioned along half a mile of Lincoln Parkway in Buffalo, State of New York, from the Albright-Knox Gallery heading Sout.
