Max Neuhaus

2003
2003 - Wenman, Neil Robert. “Invisible Space: Max Neuhaus.” Noisegate Magazine, Issue 11 (July 3).

Neil Robert Wenman analyzes how Neuhaus utilizes sound to construct architectural volume without physical barriers.

Wenman discusses Neuhaus’s ability to "sculpt" space. He posits that Neuhaus’s work creates an invisible architecture that exists only through the listener's movement within a specific frequency field.
The "Times Square" Case Study: The article provides a critical look at the Times Square (1977) installation, describing it as a "zone of focus" that acts as a physical destination despite being entirely transparent to the eye.
Wenman emphasizes that Neuhaus successfully moved sound out of the realm of "performance" and into the realm of permanent installation, effectively treating sound as a building material comparable to steel or glass.

Noisegate Magazine: This publication was a key UK-based platform for experimental music and sound art theory during the early 2000s.
