1991 Earth Day

The installation “Silentium”, made with the artist Benet Rossell and with the collaboration of the students of the Llotja school, was located at the intersection of Rambla de Catalunya and Carrer d’Aragó in Barcelona.

«Precisely in a famous photograph we can see how, on a street in Barcelona, Robert Gerhard, the introducer of dodecaphonism in Catalonia, advances, weakened by his direct teacher, Arnold Schönberg, the architect of this musical technique, and by Anton von Webern. What must those three luminaries of the dodecaphony, of the bustle of the cities, and of Barcelona in particular, have thought of it? To what extent is noise creative and not?»

From the article “On the aesthetics of silence”, in the words of the poet Carles Hac Mor, for the catalogue of this second celebration of Earth Day.
