Fashion & Gold

I have always been interested in anthropology, archeology and sociology. Regardless of the different interpretations, societies have always turn Gold into Fashion. And the Moche civilization took the art of wearing gold to a different level.

“The Moche civilization flourished in northern Peru with its capital near present-day Moche, Trujillo, Peru from about 100 to 700 AD during the Regional Development Epoch. “

Art Studio 2 Research: Potential inspiration for the additional sculptures

Jane Gavan and Jacky Redgate's feedback on Organic Space: "Well done, superb sound work! The visual imagery was poetic - theoretical underpinnings tremendous and outstanding commitment. A great research project and methodology around the subject of soundscape ecology and engaging with fieldwork and trips. The final chosen looped 3 sequences are still being realised but can be refined in Semester 2. The direction is for shorter experiential 'narrative sequence'. The sounds of the body is the last one yet unrealised. There is a lot to explore and develop how you will install your work for Semester 2, including sculptural possibilities, which wasn't realised yet in Semester 1. Push the sculptural and installation potential of your work. All the best for Semester 2! Jacky and Jane"

My thoughts from the feedback:

What about sculptures that can be interacted with to 'make sound'? (Perhaps leading the audience into the main exhibition room) - This will be addressed in this post and in future documentation.

Colours and shapes could mirror some of the animated forms/textures in the short film (and maybe other things in nature). - This will also be addressed in this post and in future documentation.

The soundscape in the 'terrestrial segment' of the short film needs to be explored/refined further, as does the overall installation and narrative sequence. - This will be addressed in future documentation.

Huaco Silbador (the Peruvian whistling vessel)

Created by various cultural groups in Peru from 500BCE to the 1500s.

The vessels were modelled after birds, other animals, or people.

Two different types: one that is single-chambered and another that is double-chambered.

You could either blow into it (both single-chambered and double-chambered) or fill it with water and tilt it back and forth (double-chambered). Both actions are demonstrated in the videos and diagrams below.

IDEA 1: Sculptures resembling the appearance of the environments/creatures making the sounds.

IDEA 2: Hollow interior to produce the sound?

Row 1: Ceramic whistling bottle - Muscovy (date unknown, AMNH Collection), Whistling bottle depicting maize deity (900-1400CE, National Museum of the American Indian)

Row 2: Double whistling bottle with jaguar figure (100-700CE, National Museum of the American Indian), Double-chambered ceramic whistling vessel - camelid/llama (date unknown, Smithonian National Museum of Natural History)

Row 3: Double-chambered ceramic whistling vessel - macaw with fruit (200BCE-600CE, Museo Larco)

Row 4: Monkey ceramic whistling bottle (200BCE-600CE, Museo Larco)

Row 5: Jaguar Whistling Jar (500-900CE, The Met Collection)

Row 6: Whistling Jar (200BCE-600CE, The Met Collection), Double-bodied ceramic whistling bottle - bat and spondylus shell (date unknown, AMNH Collection)

Artist Archive: Healing sound baths in Guadalupe Maravilla's body-of-work exhibition Luz y fuerza (2021)

Exhibition descriptions (from MOMA's website): ""I create new mythologies that take the form of real and fictionalised rituals based on my own lived experiences," says Guadalupe Maravilla. Two events from the artist’s life animate his work most of all: emigrating from his native El Salvador to the United States as an unaccompanied, undocumented eight-year-old and, later, surviving cancer. From this personal history grows a multidisciplinary practice that addresses trauma, contagion, rehabilitation, and rebirth.

This gallery—whose Spanish title translates as "hope and strength"—features works inspired by Mesoamerican myths and Salvadoran traditions. The sculptures are made from natural materials and ready-made objects selected for their therapeutic, historical, symbolic, and aesthetic properties. Maravilla sees them as healing instruments he can activate—and often does, especially for people experiencing illness and other hardships.

Disease Thrower #5 is a sculpture, a shrine, a wearable headdress, and an acoustic instrument. Like all works in the Disease Thrower series, it is, according to the artist, a "healing machine," which can be activated to create a sound bath with curative potential. It is made from both natural materials, such as straw and loofah, and man-made objects that Maravilla collected while retracing parts of the migratory route from El Salvador to the United States he took as a child. The work also includes anatomical models: one of a breast, another of a malignant tumour.

While undergoing treatment for cancer, Maravilla was introduced to sound therapy, a healing practice that uses vibrations produced by instruments. According to the artist, this practice “cleanse[s] the water in our bodies, which can carry stress, impurities, and, in some cases, diseases.” Now a trained sound healer, Maravilla regularly holds therapeutic sound baths for undocumented immigrants, cancer patients, and others in need. The gongs are tuned to specific frequencies intended to resonate with the moon and other planets in our solar system. Over the course of this exhibition, the artist will be regularly activating the sculptures in immersive sound bath sessions that visitors can sign up to attend."

Sound as healing/mediative?

Interaction to produce sound may not be limited to blowing air into hollow objects.

Disease Thrower #5 (2019, sculpture - Gong, glass, steel, wood, glue mixture, cotton, wood, plastic, loofah, paint, straw, Florida Water, and objects collected from a ritual retracing the artist's original migration route)

Por este actividad, yo quise imaginar que yo tengo más dinero y yo pude ir a todos paises. Yo escojí Perú. Yo me quedaría en Hotel Estelar Miraflores. Yo nadaría en la piscina o iría a la playa que es muy bonita. Yo hacería ejercicios en su gimnasio. En Peru tú puedes ver y visitar a Machu Picchu. El Santuario Historico de Machu Picchu es el sitio de cien acres con más de doscientos casas construidas por piedra. Es posible que los Incas constuyan sus casas con cinceles y mazas diferentes que las herramientas modernas. También tú puedes visitar Lima, el capital de Perú. Un luego yo visitaría en Lima es el Museo Larco. El Museo Larco fue fundar en mil novecientos veintiséis y exhibe arte de cinco millones de la historia del Perú. Yo aprendí mucho sobre Perú y los actividades en Perú. Me gusta la actividad porque yo quiero visitar Perú un día. Yo tuvo dificultades con escogiendo los actividades porque hubo más información.
