06 > 14-02.2020 | Sound Bodies Exhibition – Anciens Abattoirs Mons

Second exhibition of the twin studio or GMLR (bringing together the ARTS² sound creation workshops in Mons and the ESÄ-NPdC in Tourcoing).

A sound is born, moves through the air and eventually disappears. In this period of time, it is the place of the man that interests us: transmitter? receiver? communicateur? poetic and/or political relay? We advance a polysemic hypothesis: we are sound bodies.

It is in this capacity that the pupils question the conditions of appearance and propagation of sound. Their proposals explore the sound effect from several angles – psycho-acoustic, social or speculative – in a wide spectrum of practices: from installation to performance, from documentary to fiction, passing through hybrid and intermedia forms.
