The solo exhibition Ivan Bon of sound sculptures titled “Touch of Sound” was held at the Lazareti Gallery in Dubrovnik from January 30 to February 12, 2026, within the framework of the project “Multisensory Art,” dedicated to blind and visually impaired persons and supported by Creative Europe.

The exhibition was officially opened on January 30 at 6 p.m., as part of the Night of Museums event. Attendance was exceptionally good, and audience reactions, especially those of blind and visually impaired visitors, were remarkably strong and positive. The public had the opportunity to experience twelve sound sculptures created specifically for this exhibition, with an emphasis on tactile and auditory perception. 

The sculptures were executed in various materials: bronze, rubber, 3D print, stone, polyester mass, metal, and wood. Each object contains its own internal sound structure, with a speaker embedded in its form and connected to an amplifier that emits sound specially composed for the given sculpture.

The duration, dynamics, and intensity of the sound structures create an acoustic landscape perceived not only through hearing and touch, but also bodily. A particularly strong impression on the audience was made by the sound sculpture “48 bpm” (metal heart), whose vibrations visitors could feel through touch.

Following the opening, at 8 p.m. in the same space, Ivan held a musical performance featuring instrumental versions of his music project “Mistake Mistake.” The audience actively participated, and visitors danced, so the overall event, exhibition and concert, lasted nearly three hours and was well attended as part of the Night of Museums.

Multisenzorna umetnost – Ivan Bon: samostalna izložba „Dodir zvuka” u Dubrovniku

Samostalna izložba zvučnih skulptura Ivana Bona pod nazivom „Dodir zvuka” održana je u Galeriji Lazareti u Dubrovniku od 30. januara do 12. februara 2026. godine, u okviru projekta „Multisenzorna umetnost”, namenjenog slepim i slabovidim osobama, uz podršku programa Kreativna Evropa.

Izložba je svečano otvorena 30. januara u 18 časova, u okviru manifestacije Noć muzeja. Posećenost je bila izuzetna, a reakcije publike, posebno slepih i slabovidih posetilaca, bile su veoma snažne i pozitivne. Posetioci su imali priliku da dožive dvanaest zvučnih skulptura, kreiranih posebno za ovu izložbu, sa fokusom na taktilnu i auditivnu percepciju.

Skulpture su realizovane u različitim materijalima: bronzi, gumi, 3D štampi, kamenu, poliesterskoj masi, metalu i drvetu. Svaka skulptura sadrži sopstvenu unutrašnju zvučnu strukturu, sa ugrađenim zvučnikom povezanim sa pojačalom koje emituje zvuk posebno komponovan za svako delo.

Trajanje, dinamika i intenzitet zvučnih struktura stvaraju akustični pejzaž koji se doživljava ne samo sluhom i dodirom, već i celim telom. Poseban utisak na publiku ostavila je zvučna skulptura „48 bpm” (metalno srce), čije su vibracije posetioci mogli direktno da osete dodirom.

Nakon otvaranja, u 20 časova u istom prostoru, Ivan Bon je održao muzički performans sa instrumentalnim verzijama svog projekta „Mistake Mistake”. Publika je aktivno učestvovala, a događaj – izložba i koncert – trajao je gotovo tri sata i bio je veoma posećen u okviru Noći muzeja.
