| Abstract: | Catalogue publication of group show where we showed video installation 'Inside Out', Wurttembergerischer Kunstverein Stuttgart, Germany. ‘Acts of Voicing’ is a transdisciplinary exhibition + publication that focuses on the aesthetic, performative and political significance of the voice from the vantage point of visual art, performance, and theory. The exhibition centres on the nature of the voice as an event and performance, its techniques, efficacies and modes of functioning. ‘Acts of Voicing’ thus sets out to interrelate three central spheres of contemporary art discourse: the question of the politics and poetics of the voice, of the peculiarities and relationships of visual art, dance/performance and theory, and of the realignment of their spaces of action and performance. | ||||

| Additional Information: | Catalogue excerpt: " 'Inside Out' can be read as a reference to the author Samuel Beckett. In his short novel 'Company', Beckett describes an opening and closing eyelid as being "Hooded. Bared." In 'Inside Out' the mouth becomes an organ of fascination and the camera the organ of the gaze: we see an opening and closing mouth. When the mouth closes, the space becomes enveloped in absolute darkness and silence. Not until the mouth again opens and breathes is a white light engendered, facilitating communication between the inside and outside. This act of physically breathing alludes to the relationship between language and visualisation: breath becomes image and sound, with the mouth-bound camera taking on the role of the retina, the mouth thus replacing the eye. The play on darkness and light, along with the suspension of distance between image and beholder, makes viewers aware of their breathing as a fundamental, preverbal, corporeal act." Other artists/writers in exhibition & publication include: John Baldessari, Samuel Beckett, Gary Hill, Karl Holmqvist, Jacques Lacan, Anri Sala, Marcus Steinweg, Imogen Stidworthy, Transgender Voice 3, Decolonial Group Berlin. | ||||
