Aural Cinemas
Sound art exhibition curated by Stéphane Montavon and Tamar Tembeck, as part of the Bild, Stimme II: Figuren des Audiovisuellen conference at eikones (Basel, 2009).
The project is documented in “Scenes for Ears,” by Stéphane Montavon and Tamar Tembeck, in Maren Butte and Sabina Brandt, eds., Bild und Stimme (Munich: Fink, 2011).
Aural Cinemas presents two programs of soundworks by 12 contemporary artists, primarily based in Canada and Switzerland. Conceived as a companion piece to the Bild, Stimme II: Figuren des Audiovisuellen conference, Aural Cinemas features a constellation of audio pieces, each implicating different forms of voice/image interactions. Alternatively privileging orality, narrative, the medium of radio or telecommunications devices, electroacoustic composition, and soundscapes derived from field recordings, the works in Aural Cinemas offer a broad palette of contemporary sound practices that enrich our discussions of voice and image during Bild, Stimme II.
