Benoit Maubrey

DE

Benoit Maubrey is an often exhibited contemporary American artist born in 1952. While Maubrey falls under the technical title of a sculptor, he labels himself as the creator of "electroacoustic sculptures." These sculptures combine both three-dimensional work and sound in different variations of performance and sculpture. he has made contributions to the fields of dance, sculpture, sound, and technology by combining all three in his "Audio Ballerinas." The "Audio Ballerinas" are particularly important because not only do they eliminate the distinct separation between the performer and the audience by the stage, they also allow the dancers to create the music and dance at the same time. This is vastly different from percussion dance groups, such as the popular group STOMP, because they create a new auditory and visual language in the art world. Currently, Maubrey is the director of a traveling Berlin-based art group called DIE AUDIOd GUPPE
