Fox Fridays: Space as Sound / Sound as Space

Friday, March 3, 2023 | 1:00 PM - 3:50 PM

Weil Hall, Media Studio

Space as Sound / Sound as Space focuses on recording and editing short sound compositions, exploring spatial qualities of sound and sonic properties of space. Welcoming beginners and advanced practitioners in sound/music, this workshop meets at Media Studio, home to new BFA studio area, Time Based + Media Art. Take Weil Hall elevator to G-level. Turn right, walk to the end of the corridor. TB+MA door is on your right. 

TAKEAWAYS

One short sound piece saved as AFF/Wav or/and MP3 files, ready to be shared as a sound piece (for space or headphones) or as added to another medium of choice such as film/video.

CROSS-DISCIPLINARY CONNECTIONS

This workshop in sound art is closely related to new music but also to installation art, film, video art, dance, performance art and other hybrid forms of creative output. Music-oriented, performance-minded students will gain from this workshop the initial ability to make sound as part of their practice. Equally, the more solitary activities of composing/recording and editing on your own, will also be a possibility during this workshop. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Speaker Information

Over the past twenty-five years, the internationally recognized Polish-American artist Monika Weiss has developed a transdisciplinary practice composed of moving image, sound, sculpture, performance and drawing. Recurring material and conceptual motives include sound, water, the body, stillness, doubling and gestures of lamentation. Important across her oeuvre is a relationship to history and collective remembrance, which the artist’s work approaches in profoundly affective ways. Her synesthetic art resists closure as it explores states of transformation and oscillates, as Mark McDonald (The Metropolitan Museum of Art) noted, “between proposal and presence, the allusive and the tangible”. Based in New York, the artist holds professorship at Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.
