Daniel Olson
For over a decade I have been collecting sound toys, noisemakers and children's musical instruments. These have found their way into my work in a variety of guises: as sound sources for audio and video works; as raw materials for sculptural works (including multiples and unique objects); and as props for performances and videos. In 1995 I presented Sounding Off, in which I wander the streets with a couple of suitcases filled with noisemakers, stopping occasionally to play for short periods of time. These unannounced, impromptu performances on street corners, in doorways, on staircases, etc. are presented without explanation or apology. The Artists' Marching Band is an extension of the Sounding Off project; in this case there are several performers playing continuously as they wander around. |
