UPCOMING
Sound in Context is a short 4-part web documentary exploring the unique practice of sound within the visually dominated art world. Through interviews with a number of art institutions/galleries, artists and curators in the UK, Sound in Context navigates some of the issues of exhibiting sound in the gallery and contemporary art world. Featuring interviews with: Seth Cluett (artist), Benedict Drew (artist), Barry Esson (director, Arika), Anne Hilde Neset (deputy editor, the Wire), Hans Ulrich Obrist (co-director, Serpentine Gallery), Mike Stubbs (director, FACT Liverpool), David Toop (writer/curator), Richard Whitelaw (programme director, Sonic Arts Network) SUMMER 2009
The End of Something is a critical archival project that aims to bring together collections of personal and creative reflections, stories and experiences on the global crisis. During Summer 2009, LOUDSPKR in collaboration with Volume will work to gather local level articulations, opinions and responses. Located in the former ‘archive room’ of a police station, Volume will become once again a bureau and repository for information. Interviews, articles/texts, images, videos will be collected through an on-going process of accumulation, which will be available in the space and online in a digital archive. As an ‘open archive’, visitors of the space are invited to ‘dig in’, excavate and explore as well as contribute their own reflections and input. Open to varied contributions and perspectives, the archive invites visitors to produce their own arrangements and understandings of a rather complex time. As a provisional space, the archive is perpetually incomplete and flawed. It however, offers a space for dialogue, and the fostering of a common understanding of the changes. The End of Something encourages critical reflection on the past for a collective understanding of the present to approach ideas of new possibile futures. July / August 2009 (details TBA)
Following the journey + exhibition .. there comes the book. Retelling the story of an artistic journey around Hong Kong. FOLKTALES FROM MANY LANDS is a project of art creation and exhibition that encourages imagination and exploration in a city that never seems to stop, think and ponder beyond. It seeks to incite magic in the everyday and encourages the sharing of stories, experiences and memory. Folktales embraces elements of fantasy vs reality, nature vs city, drifting and traveling, collective experience and memory, and injecting deflated territorial spaces with alter meaning and histories. FFML is a project that disrupts lines of narrative and transgresses concepts of artistic production and practice. coming.. www.folktellers.tk |
