In 2017 Mollin+Voegelin, David Mollin and Salomé Voegelin, were awarded a CHF 175,000 (GBP 160,000) from the Kunstkommission Bern, to realise a public art project in Bern, Switzerland.
The project Kleefeld – Klangfeld will make the environment of a newly rebuilt local school in a culturally diverse area of the town into an ‘instrument’ to be listened to and sounded as a Klangfeld, as a sonic field, that makes audible the temporary and passing nature and use of the site: how it is inhabited by the local community in its diversity.
After a delay caused by the pandemic, Mollin+Voegelin have now finally started the realisation of the work with Jan Schacher, the first of five artists who will be collaborating on the project.
