This Ellsworth Kelly floor panel, Black Curves, was commissioned for the Haus der Kunst in Münich in 2011, and was destroyed when the exhibition, Ellsworth Kelly: Schwarz und Weiss, traveled to Wiesbaden.

At least one of the six floor paintings Kelly made was able to be refabricated in a space other than the one for which it was created; another was made anew for a purpose-built, identically sized space. The status of this one, and the other three, is idek.

Avalanches from Afar

In Avalanches from Afar, visual artist Serene Hui and composer Lam Lai present a hybrid work on the borderline between immersive installation and soundscape. Described as a ‘non-performance’, the piece is a 12-hour meditation on the subtle tension between speech and silence. Avalanches from Afar has its roots in a reflection on the limits of language and the disruption of direct communication. Drawing on literary references such as Jean-Dominique Bauby's Le Scaphandre et le Papillon, personal stories and Jean-René Toussaint's ‘Stemwerk - Primitive Voice’ method, the two artists explore how words, sounds and silences weave together to create a unique space for sensory experience. The long duration encourages a total letting go, allowing the audience to connect deeply with the fragments of language, sounds and silences that make up the surrounding atmosphere.

Concept: Serene Hui and Lam Lai Text and Libretto: Serene Hui Sound composition and spatialisation: Lam Lai Artwork: Serene Hui Voices by: Jean-René Toussaint (Primitive Voice - Stemwerk, Rotterdam), Xenia Klein, Chloe Sobczyk, Bryan Hui, Serene Hui Videography: Serene Hui, Sean Wong, STOREROOM9 (With thanks to Contemporary Musiking Hong Kong) Video Editing and Color Grading: Lichun Tseng

Lips. Rock. Mouth. (2022) Paper, nylon rope, ink, found objects

Exploring the area around Vysoká. Curious about people's activity, their environment and the material culture that surrounds them leaves an imprint

I'm intrigued by Leoš Janáček's theory speech melody (nápěvky mluvy). He often collected the melody of people's speech in private and in public. He considered that these melodies were not only expressive of the meaning and emotion of the person speaking but also captured the time, place and the people surrounding the speaker. So they are like a seed that can expand under the right light to reveal a whole context. In these melodies, it's also plausible that histories are contained as traces from past places and times.

Since speech melodies are like seeds, the old farmyard fitted this analogy.

Tim Ingold proposed the idea of the taskscape to describe a process of leaving traces. Here place and landscape is made by the activities of people over a period of time and these structures can shape how new activities/technologies come into being. Worksongs can also emerge from those activities, creating a trace that outlasts their origins. Through exploring the farm, the fields, the village and the reserve nearby and connecting with the wildlife, I collected impressions as well as finding objects to form a framework for an installation.

Working independently, I documented the soundscape and taskscape of the area around Farmstudio before creating a piece within the week from paper and local found objects and a site-specific performance with the materials I found.

something you really learn from this site is that 'sounding reasonable' is a writing style you can just adopt while saying bizarre things, and if you just sound sure enough you are in fact the most reasonable person online about 80% of all users will just assume you are in fact so very reasonable, that your sources check out and you are drawing reasonable conclusions from them. You don't actually need to make sense.

If you use the right tone you can also, essentially without effort, convince people anyone who disagrees has evil motivations or convictions in some way. Convincingly performed indignation makes people very apologetic/makes them side with you because this is a very scary emotion to them (the userbase is terrified of being guilty or siding with the guilty). Doesn't matter what you're actually saying this applies in basically any situation. But you cannot use dated memespeak or writing styles popular on this site 2+ years ago because those annoy everyone and make you look stupid and easy to make fun of.

again it doesn't matter what you're actually saying. This site is all about tone. It's basically like talking to a baby or perhaps a small dog. it's about sounding cool.

Queste esperienze non generarono per la maggior parte opere d’arte tradizionalmente intese, ma nemmeno neo-avanguardistiche

Dopo le contestazioni del Sessantotto, e ancor più con gli avvenimenti del 1969, riprese vigore in Italia l’esigenza di mutamento emersa negli anni precedenti. La denuncia dell’inadeguatezza delle istituzioni culturali e educative si accompagnò alla volontà di ripensare le divisioni disciplinari e all’interrogarsi sul ruolo del lavoro creativo all’interno dei cambiamenti sociali.
