Carlfriedrich Claus (1930-1998) is internationally recognized as a sound poet and co-founder of visual poetry. To mark the end of the Capital of Culture year, the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz are now focusing on the phonetic work of the avant-garde artist in a new exhibition. The show "Am Rand des Jetzt am Rand des Hier" can be seen at the Haus am Theaterplatz until March 1.
The exhibition focuses on Claus' sound process room, which was first shown in the art collections in 1995, according to the museum. It has been reconstructed for this 30th anniversary. Visitors can control the sound environment themselves by moving around. The installation is complemented by drawings, portfolios, documents and books, which are intended to provide a comprehensive insight into the artist from Annaberg-Buchholz's world of thought and work.
