Round Table: Sound in Visual Art
28.06.2017 - 28.06.2017 CENTRALE for Contemporary Art
Brussels (B)
CENTRALE for contemporary art and OVERTOON, Brussels platform for sound art, kindly invite you for the round table event Sound in Visual Art.
An international panel of experts will gather to debate sound in visual art. Over the recent years we have observed a revived dynamic in the role of sound throughout a variety of visual art work. In the course of an afternoon we want to take a closer look at this hybrid field with interventions by curators and artists who have affinities with the dimension of sound in art.
The round table is an event in the context of the exhibition Où sont les sons? Where Are Sounds? curated by Nicole Gingras, with the support of Kunstenpunt.
The event will be held in English.

On a beach near Calais a young refugee prepares himself to swim across the Channel, towards his new future.
The new text by author Gaea Schoeters is mirrored by recently recovered Shakespeare-text. Composer Annelies Van Parys uses the Shakespeare-text as a libretto for a cycle of songs, which set the refugee theme in a historical perspective.
Scenography by Anneleen De Causmaecker.

Mesut Arslan places the actors and the text in artist Lawrence Malstaf’s installation of spinning tops. The audience is gathered around an open arena in which not only the tops, but also the characters, start revolving around each other. In this way the director sets the inner identity of a family and the surrounding audience in motion.

Where Are Sounds? is an exhibition put together by Nicole Gingras, an
independent curator interested in the links between sound and image, and in
listening as a means of relating to the world. With regard to this exhibition,
the curator comments: “Where are sounds? Where are they going? This double
question, so simple at first sight, reveals several essential aspects specific
to listening, including the predispositions of listeners at all sound events. The
exhibition also allows us to examine the ways in which sounds manifest
themselves and travel through a given site, in public places or during our daily
wanderings. Several artists have explored these issues. Some work in sound, probing
the intensity of sonic masses, while others are interested in noise or aural
traces; still others focus on silence, the near-inaudible or imperceptible.
Finally, some convert a sound phenomenon into an object, a sculpture or temporal
experience. Where Are Sounds? suggests that it is not only possible to hear a sound,
but also to see it, touch it, be pervaded by it.”

Compass, 02005 is an orientation machine to wear around your waist. It directs you left and right while walking. It guides you through virtual corridors, rooms and doors programmed in the physical exhibition space, or any location. The apparatus imposes an attraction or repulsion on your waist, like you are in a magnetic field. You can explore this environment and discover a tactile architecture. The machine is programmed to make you follow an invisible map but you can choose between resisting to the machine or giving in and letting yourself be guided.
