Tune In by Kim Buck

Artist list

Kim Buck

A 440 Hertz is a concert pitch and a reference for tuning orchestras. In native Denmark, the concert pitch is called ‘kammertonen’, and features in an idiom. To ask for the concert pitch, or ’kammertonen,’ is to plead for respectful conversation and discourse. It is to listen, to stay in tune with one another instead of privileging the polarising opinions of individuals at the expense of community and collectivity.

Other work on display is jewellery which has been developed in a similar spirit: investigating and altering idioms, both those that exist in our language and in our visual culture.

Kim Buck has been a goldsmith and artist based in Copenhagen since the 80s. The merit list is long with honorary assignments, exhibitions, prizes, and recognitions.
