The Poetics of Space

The Poetics of Space is a collection of essays, interviews and image material dedicated to the exploration of space in performative and audiovisual art, film, music and architecture. It examines the importance of physical space in times of far-reaching technological developments, and the physical and psychological impact of spatial designs. The book accompanied the thirteenth Sonic Acts Festival in 2010 and provides insight into the various approaches to spatiality by artists, composers, filmmakers and theorists. The Poetics of Space contains interviews with TeZ, Raviv Ganchrow, Edwin van der Heide, Daan Roosegaarde, Sonia Cillari, Marc Maurer, Taku Mizuta Lippit and Maryanne Amacher, and essays by Brandon LaBelle, Douglas Kahn, Erkki Huhtamo, Cindy Keefer, Trace Reddell, Juhani Pallasmaa, Barry Truax, Mitchell Whitelaw and Eric Kluitenberg. The book is richly illustrated and contains a number of autonomous image contributions as well as some historical material.
