The work consisted of Dante and collaborator, Guthrie, positioned at the top and bottom of the stairwell at Woburn, each with an amplifier and microphone. The two artists attempted to have first a musical then simply a normal conversation across the space, the massive amount of reverb confounding any attempts of coherence!
This piece was made as a performance/installation for The Voice and Nothing More, Slade Research Centre, January 2010.
Dante is currently studying Undergraduate Fine Art at the Slade, look out for more from him soon.
Her Voice | Patricia Delgado
‘Her Voice’ is an aural response to the print entitled: Sheet of Nineteen Heads in Small Circles (c. 1530-40) and was inspired by Julia Kristeva’s writings on the semiotic and the female voice. The sound-piece is a vocal progression that starts with word and symbolic language, moves into non-verbal sounds and the semiotic, and finally culminates in song.
While making this piece, I was concerned with the articulation of the female I-voice over the he/him of the male subject and the frustration at the constant return to the latter. Is the female ‘I’ only possible to formulate as the ‘I’ of difference, the ‘I’ of the other? I took refuge in song, but again encountered the problematic ambiguity of the singing voice: fetishised object for pleasure or the consuming self-enjoyment of feminine jouissance? Despite its theoretical struggles, I hope that ‘Her Voice’ retains an emotive impact and a refreshing intimacy.
This piece was made through collaboration with UCL Art Collections.
Patricia is a final year undergraduate at the Slade, look out for her degree show in May 2010.
