Annunciation (2014)
Trappenhal even zijde
After the festival Brugge Centraal 2010, Czech artist Pavel Büchler donated his sound installation Annunciation to the city of Bruges. This installation consists of a series of loudspeakers that originally came from Prague’s Strahov Stadium, a huge stadium complex used for grand sports displays during Czechoslovakia’s communist era. Those loudspeakers are now housed in our stairwell, at the Balcony 2 level, next to Luc Tuymans’ Angel.The installation plays a buzzing sound, which can evoke the hum of insects or the cheering of a crowd. It is simultaneously a reference to the feelings that music and dance can arouse.
