Brandon LaBelle
Brandon LaBelle, nato a Los Angeles e residente a Berlino, è un artista che lavora con la componente sociale e relazionale del suono, usando performances e costruzioni con cui ricreare una dimensione comune delle sonorità quotidiane. Uno dei suoi lavori più interessanti è il network “Social Music”, una serie radio, realizzata per Kunstradio ORF di Vienna, in cui sperimenta la dimensione relazionale dell’informazione radiofonica. Table Talk, invece, è una complessa installazione in cui viene registrata una cena, nei suoi rumori, nelle sue conversazioni, nella sua dimensione sociale. Brandon Labelle ha partecipato a numerosi festival internazionali come “Sampling Rage”(1999) Podewil Berlin, “Sound as Media”(2000) ICC Tokyo, “Bitstreams”(2001) Whitney Museum New York, “Pleasure of Language”(2002) Netherlands Media Institute Amsterdam, “Undercover”(2003) Museum of Contempo- rary Art Roskilde e “Copo da Voz” (2008) Museum of Contemporary Art di Niterói.
Brandon LaBelle is an artist, writer and theorist born in Los Angeles and living in Berlin. His artistic work explores questions of social life and cultural agency, using sound, performance, text and sited constructions. This results in situational and contextual projects that create forms of intervention in public spaces, acts of translation and archiving, as well as micro-actions aimed at the sphere of the (un)common. He is also an active lecturer working with institutions around the world addressing questions of auditory culture, sonic and spatial arts, experimental media practices and the voice. Current research projects focus on voicing and choreographies of the mouth, sonic materiality and auditory knowledge, and the aesthetics and politics of invisibility. His artistic work has been presented at ngbk, Berlin (2014), Marrakech Biennial (parallel project), 2014, General Public, Berlin (2013), the Whitney Museum, NY (2012), Image Music Text, London (2011), Sonic Acts, Amsterdam (2010), A/V Festival, Newcastle (2008, 2010), Instal 10, Glasgow (2010), Museums Quartier/Tonspur, Vienna (2009), 7th Bienal do Mercosul, Porto Allegro (2009), Center for Cultural Decontamination, Belgrade (2009), Tuned City, Berlin (2008), Casa Vecina, Mexico City (2008), Fear of the Known, Cape Town (2008), Netherlands Media Art Institute, Amsterdam (2003, 2007), Ybakatu Gallery, Curitiba, Brazil (2003, 2006, 2009), Singuhr Gallery, Berlin (2004), and ICC, Tokyo (2000).
