On view at Secession in Vienna until February 22nd, Cevdet Erek\u2019s Secession Ornamentation is a site-specific installation that explores sound as architecture \u2014 not as background, but as something built, inhabited, and experienced through the body. Drawing on Adolf Loos\u2019s Ornament and Crime, Erek reclaims ornamentation as a temporal and vibratory structure, transforming rhythm into a tool for perception, orientation, and collective presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this exhibition, Erek \u201cornamentates\u201d the Secession\u2019s fa\u00e7ade with symmetrical loudspeakers, turning the building itself into an audible surface. Inside, tactile wood reliefs modeled after Braille symbols invite touch, foregrounding bodily awareness and accessibility. Across spaces, sound becomes a shared architecture, dissolving boundaries between listener and composer, visitor and site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of a long-term dialogue with local histories and architectures \u2014 from Sharjah to Marrakech, \u00c7anakkale to Baden-Baden \u2014 this project also marks Erek\u2019s return to Vienna, following his 2010 installation at Palais Erd\u00f6dy-F\u00fcrstenberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the kind support of Kira A. Princess of Prussia Foundation and SAHA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
