: curatorial statement :
How does one exhibit the unseen? Can sound, too, be experienced as an art, or is it always submitted to the sign of music?
To expose the non-visual is an aporia. For sound cannot be hung on a wall. Nor are minimalist assemblages of speakers enough. The experience of sound requires a supplementary environment: the concert hall, broadcast booth, club….
espaceSONO :: audio.lab is a laboratory for audio environments. We offer a few hypotheses in how to engage sound with your body. Sound that is not music. Thus the vague concept of ‘sound-art' being applied here: sound-art as ‘not-music.'
The espaceSONO ::audio.listening.lab is a headphone listening space, a sound-installation, and a global curatorial project that reflects the diversity of approaches and practices in sound-art today.
Some fourty artists from ten countries are represented, each offering a unique foray into sound. The works are designed to be heard in a focused listening environment over headphones. Two installations open new ways of containing sound-art while a series of performances demonstrate the versatility of artists engaged in sound exploration as they shift from composition to performance.
Many of the artists are affiliated with a local node of the international Upgrade network, an organisation of artists and practitioners in the technology and media arts. As a global curatorial project, the audio.lab reflects the themes of self-organisation and DiY (Do-It-Yourself) that drives the Upgrade network.
As a collection of sound works, the audio.lab enters into a world of challenging listening that touches upon a multiplicity of practices, from electro-acoustic to field recordings and microsound, contact microphones to remixes, sine waves to granular synthesis, home-built turntables to circuit-bending, customized software patches to noise, explorations of the body to abstract principles, found sounds to interventions in video gaming and the political sphere….
