Working Group for Sound in the Expanded Field
Airborne sound, infrasound, structure-borne sound, ultrasound, waterborne sound, and wave interference.
Since April, The Working Group has held a series of workshops, lecture presentations, listening sessions, and screenings in Copenhagen events exploring acoustic phenomena.
Now the Working Group presents a series of these actions: A collection of materials and ideas derived and distilled from recent Working Group activities will share the Husarstalden at Museum of Contemporary Art.
The exhibition presents an opportunity to engage and experience the Working Group's work, which activates various modes of auditive perception that extend beyond the ears and into body, space, and architecture.
The Working Group for Sound in the Expanded Field explores connections between a wide range of research and professional practices concerned with sound. Taking cues and strategies from acoustical engineering, bioacoustics, psychoacoustics, underground dance music, and other sources, the Working Group takes specialized sound focused knowledge and situates it in a variety of formal and informal settings for experimentation, dialogue, and listening.
The exhibition is curated by Rasmus Holmboe (DK) and the Working Group is led by artist Kabir Carter (US).
The exhibition is realized through the support of the Danish Arts Foundation and the Novo Nordisk Foundation, with additional support from BEK – Bergen Center for Electronic Arts and Auditiv Kultur at University of Copenhagen.
