William Engelen

Engelen’s artistic practice and his sensitivity to local context and his conceptually rigorous methodology results in a unique participatory process that fuses sounds and concepts that transcend the distances between his native culture and the culture in Medellín. For the work that will be produced for the MDE15 Engelen will fuse sounds from traditional Colombian instruments with classical musical instruments. Based on a structure composed by Engelen, this mixture will be interpreted by musicians creating a percussive metaphorical dialog. By melding classical European and local instruments Engelen’s work offers the possibility to reflect upon the ideas of native and colonial, the differences and similarities between these types of sounds and their cultural implications.
