The Sound Between is dedicated to the renowned Sardinian artist Pinuccio Sciola and to the relations between sculpture, shape and sound in his works.
Developed by Indòru – Boutique del Suono in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in London, Fondazione Sardegna Film Commission and Fondazione Pinuccio Sciola and funded by Regione Autonoma della Sardegna, The Sound Between is focused on Pietre Sonore (Sounding Stones), the sculptures Pinuccio Sciola created from 1996, to unveil the dynamism of sound hidden in a material traditionally confined to visual perception.
Pinuccio Sciola: Art, Form and Sound

A couple of years later, he transformed his native village, San Sperate, in an Open Air Museum inspired by his social and artistical experience of murales. Not only was his artistic talent broadly recognised in Italy (for instance, he attended the Venice Biennale in 1976), but also he organized a touring exbitions in Germany during the period 1986-1987. His final project, The Sounding Stones, buit in 1996, was displayed in Como (2001), Assisi (2003) and Rome (2016). During the lecture there will be a contribution by Andrea Granitzio who will talk about the relationship between sound and stones.
