Audemars Piguet to debut new installation by Jana Winderen during Art Basel Miami Beach 2019

Audemars Piguet is pleased to present The Art of Listening: Under Water, a new public site-specific sound composition by artist Jana Winderen during Art Basel in Miami Beach The Art of Listening: Under Water utilises the platform of Art Basel in Miami Beach, December 4-8, to bring awareness to the ocean's increasingly fragile ecosystem and to how environmental concerns are localised within this seaside community Winderen uses sounds recorded in the Miami harbour area, the Barents Sea and the Tropical Oceans to expose the constant underwater presence of human-created sound today.

As Winderen explains, her work is a careful reflection on the environment: "When I make recordings in the environment, I record the whole ecosystem with the animals in it When I am installing the sound piece, I work with the space as it is and not against it." Audemars Piguet invited Winderen to visit the Vallée de Joux in early 2019 for a two-part brief residency which resulted in the creation of Winderen's first site-specific commission for Audemars Piguet, Du Petit Risoud aux profondeurs du Lac de Joux, which visitors in Miami Beach can experience with headsets in the Manufacture's Lounge at the show This work, first unveiled during Art Basel in Basel, immerses visitors acoustically in the Vallée de Joux's unique ecosystem by combining inescapable sound of civilisation travelling through the forest and land into the water of the Lac de Joux.

The Manufacture's Lounge created by Fernando Mastrangelo and first unveiled at Art Basel in Hong Kong will continue its evolution in Miami Beach this December. . Source
