Looking at sound sculpture in relation to lighting and space, the exhibition, titled Brian Eno/Dan Flavin, features Eno’s 2021 piece Filopendula–a set of speakers arranged to look like flowers in a vase.

Eno’s new light box series Soft Sharp/Sharp Soft is also on display alongside a series of works from Flavin–Untitled (to Barbara Nüsse), 1971, Untitled (for Ad Reinhardt) 2e, 1990, and Untitled (for Eric Zetterquist) 1, 1990.

“I’ve always loved loudspeakers, just as things. Before I joined Roxy Music and when I was in the band in the beginning I used to buy up old loudspeakers and make new cabinets out of them. I loved seeing how I could change the sound by making the cabinet a different shape,” said Eno in conversation with Stolper.

“I thought why don’t we make speakers like a little event, they’re like flowers. And the sound in ‘Filopendula’ like early versions I made is very distant”.

The Brian Eno/Dan Flavin exhibition runs at 31 Museum Street, London until August 25.
