Description
11 pieces: bronze hand bells on Brenta stone casts "Sound stones, by Fluxus artist Philip Corner, explores the paradoxical notion of ‘stones that rattle’. These bronze castings of river stones from Verona, in Italy, contain small metal ball bearings. When the stones are shaken, the sounds vary subtly and, depending on the situation and who is playing them, result in different ‘compositions’ each time they are moved." - QAGOMA, "Philip Corner. Sound stones 1985"
