El Perro del Mar creates music for Moderna Museet’s collection
Stockholm, 26.5 2020 – 26.5 2020
In empty rooms with only the art keeping her company, El Perro del Mar has created music inspired by Moderna Museet’s collection. The resulting work FREE LAND, a concert, will be broadcast live from the museum. It is music that has emerged during the solitude of the spring with corona but which is firmly rooted in the universal unity of art.
What does music that has been created from a museum collection of modern art sound like? On Mondays, when Moderna Museet is usually closed to visitors, Sarah Assbring – who in a music context is known by her alias El Perro del Mar – was to come to Skeppsholmen to meet the art alone. The plan was for her to sit down somewhere in the collection and see where her inspiration took her. Sarah Assbring managed to visit Moderna Museet a few times before the world became paralyzed by the coronavirus and her project had to continue in a different location.
