Hear Here takes you on a wal­king tour of sound art in Leuven. Fifteen art­works about sound or silen­ce rever­be­ra­te through Leuven’s his­to­ri­cal heri­ta­ge sites. On the occa­si­on of KU Leuven’s 600^th anni­vers­a­ry, this edi­ti­on focu­ses on his­to­ri­cal uni­ver­si­ty buil­dings. With a map in hand, you shall walk from a medie­val water­ga­te, past an emp­ty school, to an impo­sing baro­que cha­pel. At each site, a sound instal­la­ti­on enters into dia­lo­gue with acous­tics and archi­tec­tu­re. Historic works by gre­at sound-art pio­neers are fea­tu­red alongsi­de new instal­la­ti­ons by Belgian artists. So put on your wal­king shoes and expe­rien­ce Leuven’s heri­ta­ge with new ears and eyes. Free and for all ages.
