Neighbouring Frequencies showcases the work of five artists who are exemplary of the interconnectedness and richness of sound art. Listening to their sculptures and installations, we learn about hidden dimensions of our environment and the relationships between landscapes, humans, and non-humans. The selection is a result of a collaboration between the Brakke Grond, the Amsterdam media art and music festival FIBER, and international arts center STUK in Leuven.

Els Viaene presents Vibrant Matter (2016), a kinetic sculpture in which the manipulation of paper leads to a grand, transformative landscape in sound. Floris Vanhoof's installation Antenna (2022) is a modified grand piano that brings invisible electromagnetic waves to life. Oussama Tabti showcases Homo Carduelis (2022), an installation with more than thirty empty bird cages that play the rhythmic symphony of endangered goldfinches. In Zijlijn / Linea Lateralis (2021), Stijn Demeulenaere teaches us about the impact of human-produced sound on marine life in the North Sea. Amsterdam-based artist Luis Lecea Romera explores the ecological damage to the Iberian landscape and its intertwined historical and socio-political complexities with Antecâmara (2023).

Neighbouring Frequencies is can be visited for free from Wednesday, May 30 to Sunday June 16. The festive opening takes place on Friday 31 May. The exhibition is part of FIBER Festival taking place from May 29th to June 2nd in Amsterdam.
