The Institute of Speculative and Critical Inquiry and the Serralves Museum present:
A Terra Compartilhada Summer School
Collaborative Experimentation in Sound
Faculty: David Grubbs and Jan St. WernerÂ
David Grubbs and Jan St. Werner lead participants in multidisciplinary explorations of sound, body, and space, combining traditional and theoretical knowledge with hands-on experimentation in using sound as an art form. How can we approach sound as something other than morphology or sign? What happens when we bracket musical aesthetics?
Participants in this hybrid workshop/seminar are guided through a process of collaborative research and critical and creative production, with five days of instruction culminating in a public event that combines performances, readings, demonstrations, and discussions. A fundamental orientation for these collaborative efforts are that everyone does everything on the understanding that the most fruitful collaborations occur when individuals are able to gain practical experience of every relevant mode of production. Readings, viewings, and listenings are assigned both prior to and during the workshop, and provide artistic and theoretical reference points for work and discussions. Writing, both individual and collaborative, is prominently featured, especially with a view toward language as sonic material and practice.
