"La Escucha Expandida" (Expanded Listening), presented by IN-SONORA at Medialab Prado, uses sound as the starting point for exploring and invading other creative areas: installations, performance art, and live concerts. Two contemporary creators with high quality, intense personal work linked to the use of sound from this expanded perspective have been invited to present their work. The artists are: Pablo A. Padilla (Madrid), an architect and sound artist who will take on altering space through soundscapes, and Bárbara González Barrera (Chile), an audiovisual artist, will use performance art to focus on sound, light, corporeal and spatial connections for the presentation.
Action areas: sound, light, corporeal and spatial connections for the production.
Bárbara González Barrera talks about her work process based on performance art, which she defines as “sound-visual assemblies”. Sound, light, corporeal and spatial connections for a production where the body is the engine in the mechanism that functions as just one more piece in this sound-visual assembly.
Themes: Sound-visual assemblies, rhizomatic actions, and light and sound sheet music as the script.
Support material consists of photographic, video and sketch records of Destellos en el tempo, performance art/installation to be exhibited at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, in the context of IN-SONORA. Saturday 17 March at 7:30 pm on the 5th floor (Nouvel Building).
