ARTIST TALK WITH VLAD BR\u0102TEANU (RO \/ DE)<\/strong>
July 19, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vlad Br\u0103teanu<\/a> ‘s experience in graphics forms the basis for theoretical and conceptual considerations in which photography functions as the primary medium. Sound\/hypnotic inductions, found objects and public interventions using the playful semiotics of images are found in his current practice. Navigating the boundaries between public and private spaces and finding signifiers for (in)visibility are translated into works that raise questions about precarity, fragility and stability in neoliberal societies. Researching the concept of plasticity and the effects of language are central to his artistic practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vlad is the co-founder of Template, an artistic initiative and exhibition project that started in Bucharest in 2018 and is a graduate of WHW Akademija in Zagreb in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOUND ART IN PUBLIC SPACE \/ PRESENTATION BY CARSTEN SEIFFARTH (DE)<\/strong>
July 21, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound art as an installation has its own approach to public space. It is art specific to place and time. In other words, space in all its varied dimensions underlies the work. And to this dimension belongs sound. This applies to both indoor and outdoor installations. In the latter case, the relationships are naturally more complex, as these spaces were not designed for art per se, but meant for everyday life, with various uses and non-functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carsten Seiffarth studied orchestral music at the Franz Liszt School of Music in Weimar (trombone) and musicology\/sociology studies at TU Berlin. Since 1991, he works independently as a curator and producer of sound art and contemporary music installations. He is the founder and artistic director of the sound art gallery \u2013singuhr \u2013 hoergalerie<\/a>, one of the artistic directors of the media art laboratory TESLA Berlin and curator + artistic director for “ECHOES \u2014 Soundforum Bonn”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOUND WALK WITH MARIA BALABA\u0218 (RO)<\/strong>
July 21, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound walking requires a subtle change of perception: to be in places you pass by, perhaps, daily, but to be completely focused on other elements. Sound becomes our way of entering the territory of a subjective temporality, of the space where a seemingly insignificant rustle can recontextualize an entire experience. The practice imposed by the Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer is, precisely because of the lack of the spectacular, one of the most powerful ways to re-appropriate the place where we live our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria Balaba\u0219 has been composing sound walks since 2011 under the name \u201dSunete care umbl\u0103\u201d<\/a>. With this initiative, she participated in festivals in Bucharest, Cluj and Tulcea, and sound pieces derived from the practice of attentive listening during walks were presented by Semi Silent, Goethe Institut Bucharest, ARCUB Bucharest, Tranzit gallery, etc. Maria Balaba\u0219 is a multimedia and radio artist. She is currently also developing initiatives to work in rural communities and organic gardening practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
