The following pdf files are excerpts taken from the Casa Bonita book from the exhibit at the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Caracas.
History of an Idea
When the MACC accepted the idea of allowing its main
building to house the first three sound spaces of Casa Bonita – at the time an experiment in
fusion, ambient music and contemporary art – the project entered the realm of possible
architectures and became a museum reality.
Private Music
The general concept of Casa Bonita, where music is inextricably joined to a specific artistic
space, offers the spectator-listener a new way of perceiving music outside the traditional
contexts. In Casa Bonita we find a musical creation that works like an object, in that the
audience is free to relate to it in the most personal and individual way possible.
Interview with Eduardo Marturet
Music to be. Music for spaces in a museum. Music that alters the traditional idea of time and
does away with the boundaries between sound and artistic space. Music that becomes
transformed, that turns into an object, installation, history of the times, automatic nostalgia, song
of the crickets, secret voices … Music to change us. For each of us. To live within it.
