In August 2003, Lampo and partner Whitewalls brought Hausswolff here to initiate a multifaceted project for Chicago. The Swedish artist collected sound sources from atop the John Hancock Building, selecting that location because it oversees the entire city. In the open air observation deck, he used contact microphones and atmospheric microphones to record building vibrations, passing breezes and excerpts of overheard speech from tourists. Hausswolff then returned to Stockholm to work in his studio for several months. These sources were transformed into a dense, low-end drone work which he calls, "There Are No Crows Flying Around the Hancock Building." During his visit, Hausswolff and a sm! all but fearless crew also spent nights driving around town, identifying forgotten buildings across the city. Their gear: a pick-up truck, several 4,000-watt spotlights, red filters and a noisy gas-powered generator. Once a site was selected, the building was washed in red light and Hausswolff took photographs. Sites included a gas station, church, supermarket, housing project, warehouse, correction facility and a hot dog stand. The result is a series of shots with an eerie spectral beauty. These images are collected in a new book titled "Red Empty (Chicago 2003)" published by Whitewalls/Lampo. Carl Michael von Hausswolff (b. 1956, Linkoping) is a composer, visual artist and curator. He lives and works in Stockholm. His main instrument is the tape recorder, which he has used extensively throughout his practice. Concerned with capturing hidden sound where supposedly there is ! none, he has made recordings of architectural space and ventured into performances of electronic interferences from "the other side" ("Operation of Spirit Communication"). He also is expert in the work of Friedrich Jurgenson, electronic voice phenomena (EVP) researcher who detected voices of the dead hidden in radio static. Hausswolff's own audio works are pure, intuitive studies of electricity, frequency and tone. Collaborators include Erik Pauser, with whom he worked as Phauss (1981-1993), Leif Elggren and John Duncan. Hausswolff was a Prix Ars Electronica prize-winner for Digital Musics in 2002. His fascination with the color red appears in many projects, including "Red Pool" (Cities on the Move VI, Bangkok, 1999), "Red Night" (SITE Santa Fe, 1999) and "Red Mersey" (Liverpool Biennial, 2004). Additional major exhibitions include Documenta X in Kassel, the Johannesburg Biennial a! nd the Venice Biennale. He curated the Goteborg Biennial, "Against All Evens," in 2003. In 1992, Hausswolff and Elggren proclaimed the virtual Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland, all areas of no-mans land, territories between national boundaries on both land and sea, digital and mental spaces. This nation, ruled benevolently by Carl 1st and Leif 1st, has its own national anthem, flag, coat of arms, currency, citizens and ministers. Lampo first presented CM von Hausswolff in February 2001, when he performed "Circulating over Square Oceans" with sonar, radar, oscillators and microphones. In August 2003 Hausswolff screened his video project "Hashima" at Lampo. "There Are No Crows Flying Around the Hancock Building" and "Red Empty (Chicago 2003)" are made possible in part with support from the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, the American-Scandinavian Foundation and the Governo! r's International Arts Exchange Program of the Illinois Arts Council.

It is all about an exhibition in Tate Gallery London. The exhibition is called Actions Vitrines Environments. I think this is a great opportunity to see a part of his most important work. http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/beuys/ The article starts with the sweeping of art by not familiar with that art personnel.
