PAUL PANHUYSEN: KDE BYDLÍ APOLLÓN / WHERE APOLLO DWELLS
12. 11. 2024 – 30. 1. 2025
Cella Gallery
Curator: Milo š Vojtěchovský
The exhibition opening will take place on Tuesday, 12 November, at 6 PM at Cella Gallery.
The fifth exhibition in a series focusing on prominent European artists who have expanded the concept and boundaries of sound art will present the work of Paul Panhuysen (1934–2015). Where Apollo Dwells offers a small selection from the multifaceted and extensive oeuvre of this interdisciplinary artist and curator, who is often mentioned alongside significant figures in the history of intermedia art from the second half of the 20th century. At Cella Gallery, we will present the sound installation titled ‘La vie est une guitare sur la quelle vous nʼaimez jouer que même air éternellement’. Francis Picabia (Life is like a guitar, on which you only like to play the same eternal melody), which premiered at the Transparent Messenger symposium in Plasy in 1994. The work consists of twelve metal discs arranged on the floor in a constellation based on the so-called “magic square” by the Baroque mathematician and poet Claude Gaspar Bachet de Méziriac. Beneath each disc is an amplifier and speaker, connected to a relay with sound chips that constantly combine twelve identical short melodies. Panhuysen also employed the mathematical combinatorics of “magic squares” in a series of large colour prints titled ‘Two Families of 64 Squares’, referring to the methods used by John Cage in graphic musical scores. For Panhuysen, logic and magic are integral parts of one concept of reality and creation. The installation also includes photographs and examples from the publishing activities of Het Apollohuis (The Apollo House).

AN OVERVIEW, IN THREE PARTS

HET APOLLOHUIS
A salute to Paul Panhuysen and Het Apollohuis. From 1980 to 2001, Eindhoven’s art venue Het Apollohuis was the place to experience the latest visual art and experimental music. Under the direction of artist Paul Panhuysen and his wife Hélène, Het Apollohuis grew into a beloved house of the arts with a worldwide reputation. Here, in their home and at their table, they received hundreds of artists who worked on exhibitions, installations, concerts and performances.
In the course of 2025, this historic building will be given a new purpose. Before we finally say goodbye to Het Apollohuis, we invite you to a retrospective exhibition of the work of Paul Panhuysen in three parts.
The visual work of Paul Panhuysen (1934-2015) will be shown in its full scope during three consecutive exhibitions. From Panhuysen’s early, informal paintings to his later work based on mathematical counting systems and chance procedures. In addition, various objects, sound sculptures and furniture will be shown. During the exhibition periods, works are for sale.

TWENTY-THREE CARILLON SUDOKUS
NUMBER MADE VISIBLE- NUMBER MADE AUDIBLE
VINYL LP EDITION
Carillon Sudokus is the sonic counterpart to OOG + OOR (Eye & Ear), the last work Paul Panhuysen (1934-2015) realized, a design made with his daughter Sappho for a contemporary installation in the lighted column of the Rietveld bus shelter next to the townhall of Eindhoven.
Both designs were created using sudoku puzzles whose structure was derived from the number sequences present in individual sudokus. These principles can also be applied to pitch and musical phrases.
Side A of this LP contains 11 pieces played the carillon on the roof of the Eindhoven town hall by carillonneur Rosemarie Seuntiëns.
Side B features 12 pieces played mechanically (by the carillon?)

DE STRAAT VERSPEELD
EXHIBITION CASA VERTIGO TUe
Isn’t the potential of the street played out, in the way it is used, dominated by car traffic? A typical question of the 70’s. Already in 1971, before the first famous car free Sunday in 1973, The residents of the Wilgenroosstraat in Eindhoven organized a street party; the cars were excluded. Paul Panhuysen (1934-2015), one of the residents at that time, was motivated to imagine how this street could function better, on a daily basis and not for only one day a year.
Until May 31, Casa Vertigo TU/e shows the exhibition De straat verspeeld with models of design proposals for both streetplanning and urban planning for public spaces, drawings, texts and photos of ‘Wilgenroosstraatfeesten’ (streetparties) from 1972 and 1975 (©Pieter Boersma).

MACIUNAS ENSEMBLE
LP
The Maciunas Ensemble was founded in 1968 by Dutch musicians and sound artists Paul Panhuysen, Remko Scha and Jan van Riet. It has existed ever since, though having gone through a number of membership changes until today. The group's intention was to realize the piece "Music for Everyman" by Fluxus initiator George Maciunas which they interpreted as allowing boundless freedom in the sounds being produced. The group met at a regular basis, usually improvising on a number of instruments that were at hand. Every session was recorded. Before playing, they listened to the recording of the previous session and discussed it. No rehearsing or fine-tuning of pre-conceived material took place. To the view of Paul Panhuysen, their method of making music is closely linked with the oral tradition of folk music.
This LP edition features two pieces, both recorded on December 19, 1976, and never released before on any format. Here, the group comprised Paul Panhuysen, Remko Scha, Jan van Riet, Leon van Noorden and Hans Schuurman.

PAUL PANHUYSEN DIES, AGE 80
August 21, 1934 (Borgharen) – January 29, 2015 (Eindhoven)
A system of rules always leaves room to move, to play, however rigid it may be. A system makes me look for open spaces between the clouds through which I can reach a different perspective, a different world.

NEW AT ARTONYOURSCREEN
PAUL PANHUYSEN – PATTERN PRIMER
‘Pattern Primer’, the fourth work in the context of ArtOnYourScreen, is a critical analysis if the relationship between calculation and coincidence, order and disorder in the form of reactive software. With this tool the user is able generate an almost endless number of images based on similar elements. Throughout his career as an artist Panhuysen has repeatedly returned to questions relating to the perceptual complexity of structural order; and parallels may be seen in his works of sound art as well.
Paul Panhuysen is one of the pioneers of sound art. He is also intensively occupied with generatively created music. In collaboration with his wife Hélène, he founded the artists' platform Het Apollohuis in Eindhoven, in 1980. The platform closed 2001, and the archive is currently housed and managed by the ZKM.

PENDULUM CHANGE RINGING
VINYL LP EDITION
Coming soon: first vinyl LP edition since1986 on Edition Telemark Berlin.
This LP contains a recording of the installation 'Pendulum Change Ringing', displayed at Pand Koloniale Waren in Hasselt (Belgium) in 2012. The installation consists of twelve engraved Turkish metal platters, each mounted onto a black plastic bin, and placed in a 20 meter long row. The rim of each platter is hit by a metal pendulum operated by a tiny electromotor.
"You might call Pendulum Change Ringing a typical Paul Panhuysen piece: it works according to a system, quite a simple one in fact, but its effect surpasses that apparent simplicity by far." (René van Peer)
