Introduction
A picture is not only a thousand words, it is a thousand sounds. And we are here to prove it. Come and observe a contemporary work of art from up close and then turn it into music. Isn’t that really something? Visual artists and musicians will join you and help you imagine new sounds and make your own composition.
Onassis Collection and the State Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki are waiting for you to give sound to contemporary works of art.
Have you even felt like you’ve just discovered a whole new world while observing a work of art? What would it be like if you lived there? What would you see or hear? What would the air smell like? How would you feel?
You will write down your thoughts, draw, experiment with new musical instruments, record them on your smartphone, explore smart software on the computer.
Using all that, you’ll turn your ideas to music. You won't be alone. Visual artists and musicians will join you in every step, explain the way the two art forms are linked and you will all work together. You never know. It may even give you ideas about your future occupation.
