#FrancePeachy #CatholicPeachy ARTER: THE HIDDEN SOUNDS OF NOTRE-DAME CATHEDRAL'S BELLS RESONATE IN ISTANBUL WITH BILL FONTANA'S SOUND INSTALLATION

On view from 13 September 2022 at Arter, Bill Fontana's sound installation Silent Echoes: Notre-Dame makes a hidden acoustic scene perceptible by allowing the ten mighty bells of Notre-Dame Cathedral, one of Paris' most emblematic monuments, to resound once more in Istanbul after the fire that seemingly sentenced them to silence in 2019.

Bill Fontana's 10-channel sound installation Silent Echoes: Notre-Dame makes audible, in distinctive Fontana fashion, the slightest vibrations of the Notre-Dame Cathedral's bells as they respond to the ambient Parisian sounds. With special permission granted by the French authorities, Fontana places accelerometers on each one of the cathedral's ten bells so as to record their resonance while the building's restoration is still under way until 2024.

Conveying these mystical sounds from Paris to Istanbul through a live streaming infrastructure after its unveiling during an inaugural event through a speaker system placed on the terrace of the Centre Pompidou, one of Paris' iconic architectural landmarks, Silent Echoes: Notre-Dame intimately connects with John Cage's idea that "music is permanent; only listening is intermittent", and honours Arter with the privilege of being the first museum in the world to host the project outside Paris.

Visitors are granted the remarkable opportunity to experience the auditory environment laid out by Bill Fontana's Silent Echoes: Notre-Dame through ten speakers placed on Arter's -3 floor, concurrently with another work by the artist: Resounding Io, displayed in Arter's performance hall Karbon. Fontana's experimental video, produced in relation with Silent Echoes: Notre-Dame, will also be on display in Arter's Sevgi Gönül Auditorium.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
