tekst:

In 1979, the last ship was launched from the Y-ramp at the NDSM shipyard, after which the bells announcing the launch of a ship stopped ringing. That silence is now being broken by a new location-specific artwork by Henk Schut, an artist who has been operating from the NDSM shipyard for more than 20 years. The installation, which will be on view on the Y-slope of the shipyard from 1 October, consists of a 3 meter high tuning fork and four horns that bring the sound to all four directions. In this way, the artwork aligns with the environment at ever-changing times.

From the Y-slope, Henk and Robin walk together to Erik's house where he then talks to Petra Heck (curator at the NDSM-werf Foundation) and Ewa Scheifes (program maker at the NDSM-werf Foundation) about his new work at NDSM. In fact, the IN TUNE tuning fork is tuned to a key note of 54 hertz, the same tone with which greats such as Jimmy Hendrix but also Mozart have worked a lot. The same tone will also be heard at the NDSM shipyard from 1 October and will come to our ears via the concrete walls and water at the Y slope. What does the interplay between art, sound, and the ever-evolving city sound like?
