Podcast: Louis Ho and Jeremy Sharma in Solitary Confinement

Listen to podcast

“The curve-flattening has been less than easy. Reality seemed to take hitherto unexperienced dimensions: time flattening out into an undifferentiated stream of recurring diurnal cycles, no longer tethered to the rounds of calendrical routines, and the spaces of quotidian existence collapsing into a single, solitary locale of enforced confinement. Our main conduit of connection to other human beings and to the world at large is mediated chiefly through the screen, which also provides the primary channel of this virtual exhibition of works that approximate the two-dimensional. Here is a layering of flatness, from the ideational to the physical, from sentiment to context to medium to channel. “

In this podcast, exhibition curator Louis Ho had a chat with artist Jeremy Sharma, whose sound work, ph/lse, featured in the virtual exhibition. They talked about Sharma’s interest in music-making which then led him to his sound works.
