Published on the occasion of Daniel Gustav Cramer’s exhibition Coasts, as part of Art Basel Parlours, 2016. Curated by Samuel Leuenberger.

Coasts, a sound installation placed in the first-floor rooms of a townhouse currently undergoing renovation, is Cramer’s first presentation of his archive of recordings taken in various coastal regions spanning the continents from Darwin, Australia to Ericeira, Portugal to Santa Monica, California. The architecture of the building creates a purely individual experience for the visitor who can listen to a singular recording or, by walking through the spaces, experience the overlap of a multitude of recordings.
