To mark the 25th anniversary of the St. Matthew's Foundation, St. Matthew's Church has been transformed into a musical instrument: Artist and composer William Engelen has equipped the church below the galleries all around with a curtain of 366 metal sound tubes. Each of the 366 sound tubes, which visualize a graphic score with their different lengths, stands for one day of the year, creating a room-filling sounding calendar of the church year 2024. Both musicians, who will play a composition by Engelen, and visitors can play the instrument and thus make the church and the year resound.
"Godspeed in 4/4 Time" is supported by the Verein Ausstellungshaus für christliche Kunst e.V., the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Berlin and the Mondriaan Fonds für Bildende Kunst und Kulturgut.
