Subject: Art Writing Research Seminar: Sound Threshold (4pm Monday 1st
February 2010)
*Goldsmiths College*
*Art Writing Research Seminar: Sound Threshold *
*4pm, Monday 1st February 2010*
*Art Writing Studio, Laurie Grove Small Baths, Goldsmiths
*
*SOUND THRESHOLD. **producing / narrating / curating sound*
Sound Threshold was established in 2007 by Daniela Cascella and Lucia
Farinati, as a long-term research project which explores the relationships
between site, sound and text.
The project is grounded on a shared background in literature, experimental
music, art history, and on over a decade of experience in writing and in
curating visual and sonic arts projects.
Since its inception, Sound Threshold has developed a programme of events,
talks and artists' commissions in collaboration with international
organisations: Music and Sound Through The Landscape, Italy 2007/08; The
Listening Project, London, forthcoming, 2010.
www.soundthreshold.org
The research seminar will address and discuss the following questions:
- what is the relation between text-based research with site-oriented work
in sound?
- what is the relation between the composition of a text and a sound piece?
To what extent can a sound piece be either a poem, a piece of music, a
silence?
- what is the relationship between theories of space and place with the the
spatial production of sound / between spatial stories, and spatial sound?
For background and discussion material, we invite you to read
