Paul GRÜNDORFER

Profile

Graduated from Akademie der bildenden Künste, Wien. Paul Gründorfer is exploring sound as a perceptional phenomena of action and reaction to site specific criteria, and as a processual media. He is investigating relations between stability, failure, and ambiguity of site-specific interventions, process-oriented projects, sound related sculptures and electronic devices to think about functional relations and the appearance of sound events.

About works / performance

Working site specfic and investigating sound processes could also be subsumed as a practice to question systems about their functionality. While sound could be considered as a solely abstract medium, it also directly connects to / influences / and mirrors the environment and is therefore happening in the realm of social spheres. I’m focused on processes dealing with the instability of systems, questioning the role of control and reaction, and researching mechanisms that might be primarily hidden.
