A Collaborative Sound Sculpture.  Celebrating 20 Years of Zoellner Arts Center.

Located throughout Zoellner Arts Center.

Humming computers. A droning HVAC system. The murmur of voices in a crowded lobby. These often unnoticed sounds create a sonic landscape that provides raw material for sound sculptor Scott Sherk. By chopping, compressing, and recombining recordings of these ambient sounds, Sherk constructs sonic forms that heighten the listener’s experience of space. His installation SonanceZOELLNER, incorporates light, speakers, interactive monitors, and the natural resonance of the building to transform the Zoellner Arts Center into a sculptural sound environment. Presented in conjunction with the departments of Theater (Theater/Design 30), Art/Architecture/Design (Sculpture I, Product Design II), and Zoellner Arts Center.

Scott Sherk is a sculptor who often works with sound. He has exhibited widely including exhibitions at the Katonah Museum of Art, the Allentown Art Museum, the Kim Foster Gallery NYC, and the Leslie Cecil Gallery NYC. His solo exhibitions have been favorably reviewed by the New York Times and ArtForum. His sound work has been released on CD by 3Leaves, and/OAR, and net releases by Stasisfield and Wandering Ear. Scott Sherk is a Professor/Artist in Residence at Muhlenberg College where he has been a recipient of the Class of ’32 Research Chair and twice the Hoffman Research Fellowship.
