Mario van Horrik
Petra Dubach and Mario van Horrik are soundartists. They live and work in Eindhoven,
Netherlands. Their work includes concerts, installations, performances, works in progress, media translations, video’s and objects. The main focus of their work is the combination of movement and sound. In their opinion both media are similar: if there is no movement, there is no sound. Petra and Mario make unique, uncomparable works with the simplest possible means: copper plates, aluminium bars, string, fans, water, air, paper, etc.
They have presented their work worldwide: Soundinstallations amongst others in: Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw; Art in General, New York; Synagogue od Palmovka, Prague; Cinema Rex, Belgrade; Galerie Artetage, Vladivostok; Museum School of Fine Arts, Boston; Amber festival, Istanbul.
