This weekend, Frieze Sounds 2013 will premiere in the VIP cars at Frieze Art Fair New York on Randall's Island.
Curated by Cecilia Alemani, presented by BMW, Frieze Sounds will feature three specially commissioned audio works from Charles Atlas and New Humans, Trisha Baga and Haroon Mirza.
The following trio will also be accessible via a listening station inside the fair...and streamed online. Just click on any of the LISTEN LIVE! links below:
Charles Atlas and New Humans have previously collaborated on a number of projects at the intersection of sound, installation and performance, including film productions as performance, sculptural installations, music events and live video presentations. For Frieze Sounds, Atlas and New Humans extend their collaboration into a new aural experience, utilizing electronically fractured vocals by Atlas and Tajima. A poem-like babble of unrelated words, the work articulates the flow of global materials, information and people extracted from distant places made readily accessible and mundane--the soundtrack and backdrop for urban island life.
Trisha Baga is known for intricate installations that combine psychedelic projections, sculptural assemblages and arrangements of found YouTube videos combined with audio recordings. In Hercules Radio, the artist highlights the tonal quality of language, rather than its content, composing the soundtrack for an imaginary journey that takes the listener through an array of fluid identities and incongruous locations.
Haroon Mirza has been investigating the generative power of sound and noise in a series of architectural installations and kinetic sculptures that play with our perceptions of space. Mirza will install microphones inside the fair's tent which will absorb background noises and the sounds of people moving through the booths--bringing the listener to focus on that universe of unheard voices that pervade public spaces.
