Having as protomodel the work Pictures at an Exhibition by the composer Modest Mussorgsky, the artistic creation project Sounds at an Exhibition consists of a site-specific performance in the shape of a guided tour with me participating as performer-musician. This performance, based on an interartistic transposition process, calls for a visitors group to be accompanied on a tour through the museum rooms, where participants are invited to admire ten previously selected artworks, all the while listening to music pieces that I play live. Moving away from the guided tour models, this performative action main goal is to make the audience fall in love with modern and contemporary art through a different artistic expression – music –, aiming to reformulate the fruition form of the artistic objects exposed at the museum, and thus, the relation between visitor and artworks. This project also aims to: increase the audience ability to empathize with the artwork; extend the contemplation length adding the musical dimension; turn the visitor from an observer into a participant; experience the museum as a meeting point between arts and as a space for artistic experimentation. The research, proposing itself as a theoretical and practical project which aims to articulate artistic practice with theoretical reflections, seeks to help answering to the question: how can this kind of performance promote a new way of appreciating the artworks and of visiting the museum, today, on an era of inattentive receiving?porArte da performanceMúsicaSite - Specific ArtEmpatiaArte multimédiaTransposição artística (Conceito)GesamtkunstwerkMuseu de Arte Moderna e Contemporânea de Estrasburgo (França)Museu de Arte Moderna e Contemporânea de Trento e Rovereto (Itália)Mussorgsky, Modest, 1839-1851doctoral thesis101676050
