MATERIAL STRATEGIES

VEGA SCENE HAUSMANNSGATE 28 - 32 OSLO

ARTISTIC RESEARCH SEMINAR 28.02.2019 - 01.03.2019 VEGA SCENE OSLO


How can we as artists to a greater extent listen to the agency of the material and co create with it, letting go of control and authorship? How are bodies, emotions, visions and memories shaped by things and environments we interact with? How are performative and material practices articulating the embodied nature of memory in relations between bodies, voices, objects and spaces? We will examine voice and sound as material, connected to transformative subject formations being shaped and reshaped in dialogue with the surroundings (space and objects). Is the voice, when materializing different traditions and techniques, connecting past and present, living and dead and animate and inanimate?
