ONE TO ANOTHER, 2000, Grand Arts Kansas City

Curated by Angela Adams

This sound work develops over a period of six weeks. A specially designed record, 'filled with an empty groove', collects the dust in the installation space. The empty groove collects the dust particles, which in turn move the needle. In this way the sound changes from total silence to a crackling and thundering music.

ONE TO ANOTHER
Angela Anderson Adams (2000)

Mohné's contribution to De Tempore is another exploration based upon the capturing of dust. Eins zum Anderen (in English One to Another) involves a turntable and unrecorded record disk that "plays" in endless repetition over the course of the six-week-long exhibition. Each play gradually produces more and more static, the result of the accumulation of dust particles (Mohné calls them "tiny meteors") on the record. After about 200 plays, the sound begins to recall the cracking and popping of a fire burning, and the piece becomes an audible metonym for the "passage" of time. Stationed near the entrance, it serves as a touchstone for this concept, one shared by all of the works in the exhibition.
