Innerrhoden Art Foundation honors soundscapes
The Innerrhoden Art Foundation is awarding its 2017 work grant of CHF 10,000 to Roswitha Gobbo for the "Soundscapes" project.
Born in 1989, Roswitha Gobbo is a graduate of the Zurich University of the Arts and works with very different media, combining them in ever new ways. Klanglandschaften is a blog (klanglandschaften.wordpress.com), which regularly publishes recordings of soundscapes from South America. They consist of "acoustic phenomena that occur in one place". These can be natural sounds, speech, work and machine noise as well as music.
Since 2000, the Innerrhoden Art Foundation has been awarding work grants at irregular intervals to promote contemporary art. At its meeting on September 18, 2017, the Board of Trustees unanimously decided to award this year's work grant of CHF 10,000 to Roswitha Gobbo, Appenzell. The prize will be awarded on November 18.
