Sound jams: sounds at the exposure
_invitation
«s.å.t.e. - sounds at the exposure»
The show moves on the border between visual art, sound, music and performances. This project plays with the meaning of music, influenced by the ‘exposure’ form during performance. A sometimes lighthearted commentary. In this way, everyone in the Sound Jam sessions can contribute to the development of music in a democratic structure. You can also plug in and invite an immense brush to dance. Your musical dance movements can be recorded in malleable surfaces and how do you actually escape the dulled behaviour in pop music? There will be acts and performances on November 2 and 3. There is also an activity in the last week of the exhibition. With this project, SIGN also participates in the Soundsofmusic festival, the top festival for experimental music and sound.
Artists: Sara Elzinga, Ål Nik, Thordur Hans Baldursson, and Enrica Arbia.
_About my work:
With my new Sound Jam, part of the exhibition, I intend to create a cosy space for people to make sounds together. With the help of some visual invitations [prompts & visual scores], I propose the visitors to explore ways to make experimental music, noise and sounds inside the gallery and to disrupt the traditional playing in a band. Their stage is as cosy as a living room and the sound-making instruments and objects are accessible and fun. This interactive installation invites the guests to explore some traditional music-making elements and to disrupt them. To have conversations about how to approach the collective making. And also to experiment and try out ways to do it in a different way.
opening: 2-11-2023, 4pm CET exhibition runs: from 2-11 until 2-12-2023 SIGN project space Winschoterkade 10 9711 EA Groningen
