The Bifrons Foundation initiates multidisciplinary projects. We are looking for an intermediary switch between music, visual art and new media. The 'bifrons space' is a virtual in-between space where worlds collapse and new connections are set up, which may lead to other disciplines and cultural movements.
The Bifrons office is in Amsterdam (NL), but every project is related to a fresh international web of links between musicians, artists, composers, curators, writers and critics, among different audiences, cutting edge exhibition spaces, performance venues and museums.
Loud & Clear & TOO is an interdisciplinary project by the Bifrons Foundation, in which we invited not only composers and visual artists for a unique collaboration, but we also asked advertisement agencies to contribute.
Loud & Clear & TOO seeks a dynamic between image and music, between artists from different disciplines and between the commercially-based market and the autonomy of high art. These days, contemporary art is being increasingly influenced by the visual power of advertising, while in their turn advertisers are being shown in museums with their commission-based work.
Loud & Clear & TOO contains an essay by the Dutch critic Paul Groot and texts about the individual film works and music by Diana Stigter.

The Bifrons Foundation was set up in 1998 with the aim of bringing together independent disciplines of contemporary music and contemporary art in the broadest sense of the word. The foundation organises interdisciplinary projects with an international character in continually changing contexts.
