SOUND: Latitudes and Attitudes
The sonorous world impacts upon our thoughts, bodies and spatial experiences. Sound is an active ingredient in influencing the way we experience the world we live in, both audible and inaudible. SOUND: Latitudes and Attitudes will bring together the works of seventeen artists in Singapore whose practices share the use of sound as a medium and subject. The exhibition is a brief offering, an invitation to listen and engage with the openness of sound and its most social, spatial, corporeal and public moments.
SOUND: Latitudes and Attitudes will present a confluence of forms, ideas and emanations surrounding the registers of sound art and experimental music, lending also to the blurring and rejection of these boundaries. Acknowledging the breadth in approaches to perceiving, creating and reproducing sound, it will explore sonic activities ranging from stillness to noise, random to structured forms, and personal to collective interactions with sound. It will offer audiences various entry points into experiencing sound and how it has been harnessed to describe, perform and analyse.
A latitude of approaches and creative inquiries in sound will be presented across five components: interchanging sound installations, listening stations, live performances, sound scores, and an archive of sonic practices in Singapore developed in collaboration with Mark Wong. An exhibition catalogue will be launched on the opening night, which includes essays, artists texts, and exhibition images.
