The pataphysical cobla 2015 - 2001

CABOSANROQUE

Exhibition

Exhibition | 03.03 - 12.04.2015 | second floor


What is, or what exactly does CaboSanRoque do? Some people think CaboSanRoque is a long-standing musical band, others believe they are performers who, armed with different artefacts, set up a variety of spectacles.  Finally for those who contemplate the machines they make without looking too much at their music, they could be considered works of art.
However, something else should be added: CaboSanRoque are (paraphysical) collectors of sounds.  Their machines and shows produce new sounds which, like in the collections of centuries past, move between what is strange and beautiful, between wisdom and curiosity, all condensed in space and time in their particular collector’s cabinets.  A collection of sounds means understanding the multiplicity of the sound world, finding a hidden meaning and, on the personal plane, apprehending the magnitude of what is marvellous in the discovery of each new sound.  And we marvel at the sounds they manage to get out of their old scrap.
