Follow Me is the title of Susan Philipsz's new solo show. Set in the historical centre of Genova, the exhibition presents a new work inspired by the yatch Elettra, Guglielmo Marconi's floating laboratory, together with a selection of six works realized between 1999 and 2011. Among the most significant artist of her generation, Philipsz (Glasgow,1965) creates sound installations (recordings of the artist's own voice as she sings existing songs a cappella) that explore the psychological and sculptural potential of sound. In Genova, the artist traces a captivating itinerary that unfolds within the architectural framework of Palazzi dei Rolli - in- cluded in the Unesco World Heritage List - and other historical buildings, along which she explores the relationship between art and architecture, the subtle shifts in the public perception of the artwork, the relation between performance and sculpture, and the emotional effect of sound.
