“Ein Mund voll Wald” proposes a drift into a vocal territory. This territory is mapped through technical, political and performative exchanges.
The exhibition presents a series of works by Curci-Genoud. Through video-performances, graphics and radio devices the audience is asked to explore vocal ecosystems. The mouth is conceived as an inhabited territory. Corporal cavities appear as a place that is traversed by intensities and beings. In this place, animal-machine learning become a landscape-shaping and terraforming force.
The exhibition is part of a broader artistic investigation by Florencia Curci and Agustin Genoud around the topic of political and corporal performativity in the construction of meaning through voice.
Agustin Genoud works as a performer, musician and scholar (National University for the Arts) in the fields of contemporary voice, performance, post-humanism; new media. He graduated as a media artist and finished a postgraduate degree in data science; AI. He was in residence and performed at Sonandes Sound Art International Biennal Bolivia/ Music Makers Hack Lab – CTM Festival Berlin / The Wrong International Biennal / Tsonami Sound Art Festival Chile / FIME Sao Pablo / Metabody Symposium Chile / New Materialisms Symposium / Colón Theatre Experimental Centre / Terén pole performativního umění Brno, among others.
Florencia Curci works as a sound and radio artist, performer and curator. She completed her postgraduate studies in Expanded Music at the UNSAM University, and the Artists’ Program of the Torcuato di Tella University. Since 2017 she is Director of CASo (Sound Art Center), an institution dependent on the Ministry of Culture of Argentina promoting artistic research on sound, experimental music and social acoustics.
