MRxpo24 _ Mika Vainio

abstract

Mika Vainio is best known as being half of the widely acclaimed electronic music formation ‘Pan Sonic’. But even though he has exhibited in some of Europe’s most important art venues and collaborated with the elite of the contemporary art-scene, the rest of his oeuvre is less known.


Specially for the occasion Mika Vainio will exhibit a new sound installation ‘2 * 540 kHz’, created in residency at MediaRuimte, LAb[au]’s gallery for electronic arts in downtown Brussels. Two looping compositions are sent through radio transmitters and played by several vintage tube-radios distributed in the gallery. The soundscape is constituted by a temporal shift and spatial distribution of both compositions.  

The exhibition and book launch will kick-off with a ‘2*540 kHz’ live performance by Mika Vainio, a combination which will travel afterwards to galleries and happenings across the world.
