Welcome to the site of Gill Arno, home of the mpld and Fotofono
projects.
After three weeks in Portugal, Lisbon seems already pretty far away..
indeed, works about memory become themselves memories in due time. Fortunately
a journal of the days spent at the residency has been dutifully kept
by Elsa Vieira of RogueWaves - you can see the photos and read it at
the On
the farm
blog.
Right now I am in Heerlen (NL). The (h)ear XL exhibition on sound art
at Kunstcentrum Signe has begun yesterday.
Curated by Mike Kramer, (h)ear XL features several installations with
sound and video, lectures, workshops.... yesterday's kickstart had a
great performance by Pierre Berthet.
I will be in residence here for the duration of the exhibition, and
will give a workshop about sound art and intermedia with a focus on
participatory strategies.
Starting the 21 of April we will meet every Tuesday evening in the studio
installed on the occasion at the kuS. Like in a sort of Fotofono on
the move, we will explore forms of collaborative work through found
sound and image, light, space, repurposed equipment and an adventurous,
hands-on approach. The results of the workshop will be made public in
a group show sometimes in the last week of (h)ear XL.
In addition to the workshop I will play a short mpld set and
then talk about the project during (h)ear XL's day of lectures, featuring
also talks by Daviv Toop and Raviv Ganchrow.
On show at the exhibition are pieces by Stephen Vitiello, Steve Roden,
Paul Devens, Raviv Ganchrow, chacha, Ronald van der Meijs, Erwin Stache,
William Engelen, Slavek Kwi and Pierre Berthet. On the 24 of May there
will be a performance by Pierre Bastien. Lectures on 10 May. fotofono
workshop: 21, 28 April, 5, 12, 19 May.
