Notes:

Born in Cleveland in 1947 and based in San Francisco, Bill Fontana began his career as a composer and, over more than forty years, his oeuvre has unearthed the delicacies of the hidden music surrounding us in our daily lives, drawing our attention to it in striking ways. Fontana’s installations, which highlight the idea that the act of listening is a way of making music, use sound as a “sculptural” medium to interact with and transform our perceptions of visual and architectural settings. Featuring a multi-screen and multi-channel installation commissioned by Arter, Bill Fontana’s Resounding Io constitutes the artist’s first solo exhibition in Turkey and a unique addition to his series Acoustical Visions which explores the image that a sound “makes” and the sound that an image “creates”. Resounding Io is based on research surveys conducted by Fontana in Istanbul, whereby the artist made video and sound recordings, some underwater, at numerous locations along the Bosphorus, as well as in two Byzantine cisterns, namely the Theodosius Cistern and the Basilica Cistern.
