Description
Doug Hollis’s A Sound Garden from 1982 creates sounds from hollow metal tubes atop grid-like structures rising above the ground. In weather-vane fashion, the tubes swing into the wind and resonate to specific pitch. The sound extends the aesthetic value of the work to include the sense of hearing and, together with the metal construction, creates a mechanical and psychological basis for the work.
