Atención al siguiente libro al que no lo conozca, ya me lo estoy pidiendo por Internet que no está nada caro…

Seth Kim-Cohen [In The Blink of an Ear: Toward a Non-Cochlear Sonic Art]
Continuum Publishing
July 2009

“Finally, a book that dares to think critically and philosophically about sound art. Kim-Cohen shows what post-War art history would look (and sound) like if it did not exclude the sonic, and if soud art were considered within the history of Conceptualism. This is a landmark book with which any future theory of the sonic arts will need to contend.” Christoph Cox, Professor of Philosophy, Hampshire College, co-editor of Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music

“A line in the sand of the Chladni plate of sound art. Kim-Cohen is impatient with the simple ding in the thing-in-itself: the metaphysical front end of the church bell. So he pits Duchamp’s non-retinal art against Cage’s sound-in-itself and argues for a non-cochlear art where sounds are allowed to keep resonating past the inner ear all the way to the brain and back. He speaks eloquently for all who like to think and listen at the same time.” Douglas Kahn, author of Noise, Water, Meat: A History of Sound in the Arts

    NON-COCHLEAR SOUND
    Organized by Seth Kim-Cohen

    Diapason will be working with sound artist and author Seth Kim-Cohen to present an exhibition of “Non-Cochlear Sound”, as formulated in Kim-Cohen’s book “In the Blink of an Ear: Toward a Non-Cochlear Sonic Art” (Continuum). The exhibition is scheduled for October, 2010.

    CALL FOR WORK

    OVERVIEW
    Non-Cochlear Sound describes a form of sonic practice not primarily concerned with the ear. Marcel Duchamp’s famous call for a non-retinal visual art was answered (eventually) by minimalism, conceptual art, social-based practice, and a host of approaches that appeal not to the eye, but to other concerns. In his new book, In The Blink Of An Ear: Toward a Non-Cochlear Sonic Art, artist and theorist Seth Kim-Cohen asks why sound has been slower to make the conceptual, linguistic, and social turns. As a way of responding to this question and of “redressing” this perhaps unfortunate sonic situation, we seek sound work that engages any or all of the following: sociality, conceptualism, politics, textuality, discursivity, subjectivity, history, economics, or philosophy.

    CRITERIA
    Major criteria for artist participation is:
    – Artists working with sound (although the work can include other materials and media as well)
    – Work that engages concerns beyond hearing or the senses in general
    – No history of previous exhibition, performance, or recording is required

    DEADLINE
    Submissions to participate are due by ­­­­June 3, 2010. Participants will be contacted by July 1, 2010.

    SUBMISSIONS
    All submissions and contact will be by email.
    Send an email to diapason.info@gmail.com that includes the following information in the body:
    – Your contact information (Name, Email Address, Phone Number)
    – A brief bio/artist background describing what you do in general and what you’ve been doing lately
    – A brief statement about how your work relates to the idea of the non-cochlear
    – A proposal for the project you would like to include in the exhibition

    NOTE: Please do not attach any work-samples or documents. All work samples must be available online, and all information must be submitted in the body of the email

    El libro es una buena perspectiva sobre el arte sonoro desde la perspectiva de un especialista en arte conceptual. No estoy muy de acuerdo con algunos juicios puntuales (en particular sobre Francisco López), pero en general es una lectura satisfactoria y altamente recomendable.

    Por cierto, de la misma editorial: Audio Culture. Readings in Modern Music (una antología muy bien seleccionada y estructurada con textos de músicos y artistas) y Noise. A history of Noise in Music (el título es bien claro, ¿no?). Pídelo a la vez y te saldrá mejor el envío. ¡Merece la pena!
