Description
AURALITY AND ENVIRONMENT. AURALIDAD Y ENTORNO (BILINGUAL)
Book Summary
This bilingual publication accompanies the homonymous exhibition held at the Estudios de Tabacalera space, as part of the sixth edition of FASE, the Spanish Sound Art Festival. The reader will find an in-depth analysis of the relationships between sound, listening, and space, through the works and reflections of the participating artists. The work is presented as a fundamental document for understanding contemporary sound art practices and their capacity to reinterpret our environment.
What is it about?
The book explores the intersection between aurality—the experience of listening—and the physical and social environment. Based on the exhibition organized by FASE, an international artistic research platform that began as an annual Spanish-German festival in Berlin, the publication compiles the proposals of artists who investigate how sound shapes our perception of space. Through essays, documentation of works, and visual material, it addresses how sound art can transform the way we inhabit and understand the world, questioning the boundaries between the audible and the visual.
