Beyond the audible - The role of sound in an ecological revolution. Artist talk at Lisboa Soa festival.
http://www.lisboasoa.com/palestras-paraladoaudivel/
“ Through his use of sound and musicality, Gil Delindro extends an invitation to practice a countercultural form of perception that moves beyond great world events and their far-reaching consequences. This form of perception seeks out the political by fostering a sensibility for the reality of vibrant matter, and a respect for a world in which all forms of materiality appear to be animated. “ (Lena Reisner, 2018)
Main focus in Delindro´s work has been the constant field research in remote, isolated and rural communities around the world. Namely by creating pieces that depart from common organic materials and simple experiments. In his public talk, the artist will engage in an open discussion departing from his recent artistic research in Vietnam´s ethnic minority villages and going through the last five years of work with totally distinct geographies and communities around the world.
How can sound become an ecological vehicle to enhance our experience of organic materiality, possibly fostering our political engagement with the environment while maintaining artistic independence? Can we embrace non-human architectures in a different way to re-think our Anthropocene condition? The artist's work will be a starting point for a wider discussion on how art can respond to such challenges today.
