Welcome to a concert at Kunsthall Trondheim!

In 1983, John Cage began a composition-in-progress called Ryoanji, named after the rock garden in Kyoto, Japan. This garden consists of a collection of fifteen rocks, placed in a landscape of raked, white sand. The soloists represent the stones of the garden, the accompaniment the raked sand.
The concert is part of an ongoing artistic research project by Michael Duch, Sigurd Saue and Jeremy Welsh. ”The Impossible Room” deals with spatiality and site-specificity creating new virtual as well as actual sonic and visual spaces. Here a Japanese rock garden from the Zen temple Ryoanji is artisticly recreated and dwelled upon.
