The exhibition sounds on paper presents Robin Minard’s recent sound objects made with books and paper as well as the sound installation Silent Music, a work that has been presented in museums and public spaces worldwide since 1994. Minard’s audio books (2005)—originally created for the Bibliothèque Robert-Desnos in Paris—present small loudspeaker elements superimposed over hand-written texts. The organic-like arrangement of the elements recalls Silent Music. The audio books led in 2006 to the creation of à lire en silence, a first set of artist-editions consisting of small notebooks with texts and loudspeaker elements, audio CD and presentation box. à voir en silence, another edition project, brings together the same elements but on hand-made paper into which loudspeaker elements are directly integrated.
