Michael Akstaller left painting behind at the Nuremberg Art Academy. As one of six artists invited to the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, he will make his sound vision come true on the island of La Certosa.
The wind blows a bit into the phone, but the connection is stable. Michael Akstaller, 32 years old, sound artist, is already on the island of La Certosa in the Venice lagoon. More than two months until the start of the Biennale. There had just been a “spontaneous production meeting”. What Akstaller and his colleagues will install, build and compose here by April – he doesn’t want to reveal it yet.
