Audio specialist Sennheiser has won the Audio Installation of the year at the AV Awards 2013, for its contribution to the audio system for the David Bowie is exhibition.

“We are very proud to have worked with the V&A on the David Bowie project,” says Phil Massey, general manager at Sennheiser UK. “Being honoured with an AV Award shows that our work is appreciated by the industry which is delightful.” 

The exhibition was the first international retrospective of David Bowie’s career, as a musical innovator and cultural icon, and ran for five months between March and August this year at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Around 312,000 visitors attended during this period.

“It was the first major UK exhibition where sound was an integral part of the interpretation,” co-curator of the exhibition, Geoffrey Marsh said.  

“Working with Sennheiser on audio delivery was a fantastic opportunity. They pushed the boundaries as to how sound can evoke, provoke and inspire visitors and they created a genuinely multi-media museum experience which was a challenging objective but one the V&A are delighted to have realised with Sennheiser’s support and expertise.” 

Sennheiser continues to support the David Bowie is exhibition as it goes on tour to a number of leading venues of art and design around the world.
