Wednesday with… #13

We cordially invite you to the upcoming edition of our monthly series, in which Karl Salzmann (artist and Co-founder of Zentrale) will talk to our current Artists in Residence TinTin Patrone and Mario de Vega about their site specific installations “Universal Humming” and “Study for Refraction and Rotary Motion”. Moreover, they discuss about relations within their body of work and will perform some sound-pieces.

Language: English, admission: free

TinTin Patrone is a German-Filipino musician, Performance and Sound artist. The connections between music, art, sound and experimental gesture is the general field TinTin Patrone is interested in. One focus of her creations lies on the visual elements of music, the tension between conceptual ideas and physical existence and how we relate to music individually and as a society. Her performances and installations include elements from musical Concept-Art, Fluxus and Social practice. Her projects work as a form of comparative study of art and music, from their formal aspects to their points of overlap in history. Another important inspiration that informs her artistic practice is the culture of associations and clubs; she often performs with her orchestra or cooperates with other artists and collectives.

In cooperation with Zentrale. Raum für Klang und Prozesskunst, studio das weisse haus has invited the artist for a two-month residency in order to present her project “Universal Humming” from April 12 to May 11 at Zentrale, located in Neulerchenfelderstrasse 52, 1160 Vienna.

Sonority, presence and invisibility are starting points of Mario de Vega’s artistic work and research, utilising strategies as handouts, or rather the requirement to sign a declaration form to take over the responsibility for eventual consequences of an art exhibition visit, no obvious warning labels, blindness, otoacoustic phenomena, architectonic barriers, ambiguous situations between acoustic phenomena and signal amplification. Ambivalences between processes and results, between the obvious and the unknown.

studio das weisse haus has invited the artist to realize the site-specific sound installation “Study for Refraction and Rotary Motion” for the circular exhibition space in Hegelgasse 14, 1010 Vienna. Sound understood as a phenomenon that can be perceived acoustically and through visual representation is exemplified in this piece.
