hope some of the folks in the Chicago area can
stop in! The 30 pieces we received are
impressive. Should be a good time. Rob D.

GeoPhonoBox
Sonic Surveys of Place
March 2 - March 28, 2007
Opening Reception March 2 from 7-11pm
Around the Coyote Gallery

CHICAGO - Around the Coyote is pleased to present
GeoPhonoBox an exhibit with sound recordings
about "place" created by sound artists, nature
recordists, ethnographers, composers,
pedestrians, geographers and other practitioners
from around the world. Each piece represents one
geographic place within the realm of a cardboard
shipping box.
This is the first sound art exhibition at the
Around the Coyote Gallery, and one of the few
contemporary sound art exhibitions held in
Chicago. The importance of the use of noise or
sound in modern and contemporary art can be
traced back at least to the 1913 publication of
The Art of Noise by Luigi Russolo; however, as
opposed to the early sound artists who were
rightly preoccupied with the political, social
and art historical implications of noise as an
artistic medium, contemporary sound artists can
take an understanding of noise as medium for
granted. The debate over musicalized or
non-musicalized noise is no longer automatically
relevant. GeoPhonoBox: Sonic Surveys of Place
shows how sound, once we get beyond the
conceptual debate over the medium, can be used
like any visual medium to describe and evoke.
Each artist was sent a cardboard shipping box in
which they could include visual cues, if they
desired, along with their sound project. Each box
is displayed in the gallery as it was returned to
us from the artists, the box serving as a
document of the distance the sound piece traveled
as well as the container for the visual and
auditory elements of the piece.
Bryce Beverlin II's project, Florida , combines
recordings of southern gulf ocean waves infused
with north central mainland thunderstorms. He has
chosen to include a sun-bleached fish carcass
among the visual cues used to further draw the
listener/viewer into his chosen place. Beverlin
is a multi-disciplinary artist residing in
Minneapolis where he explores various forms of
art including free improvisational music, contact
improvisational dance, guerrilla public
performance, film and video, poetry, public and
private installation, and conceptual composition.
Bryce started the record label, insides music ,
in 1999 along with psionic art publishing. He
currently studies physics at the University of
Minnesota. Bryce can be found on the web at:

Peter Goin's piece, Bravo 20, depicts a bombing
range located within the Carson Sink near the
Stillwater Wildlife Refuge, Nevada. This location
has been used by the Navy as a test range for
more than sixty years. Peter Goin's contribution
reflects years of both visual and auditory
documentation of this site, which is itself one
of America's most bizarre landscapes. Goin is the
author of Tracing the Line: A Photographic Survey
of the Mexican-American Border (limited edition
artist book, 1987), Nuclear Landscapes (The Johns
Hopkins University Press, 1991), Stopping Time: A
Rephotographic Survey of Lake Tahoe with essays
by C. Elizabeth Raymond and Robert E. Blesse
(University of New Mexico Press, 1992), and
Humanature (University of Texas Press, 1996).
Peter's photographs have been exhibited in more
than fifty museums nationally and
internationally, and he is the recipient of two
National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships.
Peter's video work has earned him an EMMY
nomination as well as the Best Experimental Video
Award at the 2001 New York International Film &
Video Festival. At the turn of the new century,
Peter was awarded the Governor's Millennium Award
for Excellence in the Arts. His most current
Public Art work is an exhibit of Narrative
Photograms, Light Box Series, Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Peter Goin
is a Foundation Professor of Art in photography
and videography at the University of Nevada, Reno.
