1976
1976 - Artforum, October 1976 (PS1-Rooms)

In June 1976, Max Neuhaus presented an untitled sound installation for the inaugural exhibition "Rooms" at P.S. 1 in New York. The work is an example of his site-specific approach, in which sound is used to redefine the perception of an existing space.

The event featured 78 artists creating site-specific works, taking advantage of the building's various spaces before they were renovated.
Characteristics of the work:
Sound immersion: Neuhaus created a subtle sonic experience within one or more rooms. As in many of his installations, the sound was not an overt auditory experience, but rather an environmental "sound field" that integrated into the visitor's perception of space.
Architecture and Sound: The work's dimensions vary depending on the space used, with different room sizes.
