Max Neuhaus created several sound installations that occupied interior architectural spaces, sometimes referred to as "rooms". These works were central to his shift from musical performance to using sound as a material to create a "place".
Drawings describing methods for the creation of spaces which, although visually alike, are transformed into contrasting places by Neuhaus with the addition of sound alone.
A few of his notable "rooms" include:
Exhibition: Rooms, PS1, 1976
First created for the Clocktower Gallery in New York and later reconstituted at the Frac Franche-Comté in France, this was a site-specific installation focused on the acoustics of a square room. The title came from the type of chairs Neuhaus found in the space.
