but not from anywhere in particular
curated by Tobias Van Veen
curator’s biography

Curatorial Statement
Vast expanse often leads to bouts of topographical uncertainty: where and how does a sense of coherence, or even incoherence, form in a characteristic Western experience that is typically and all that much more sharply divided between the metropolis and our othered sense of nature? Predominantly products of urban environments, Canadian artists are perhaps particularily attenuated to the historical, progammatic violence that constructs the nation-state. It is only by denying First Nations people entitlement and by deploying a fixed notion of property that Canada enforces its territory and established its governance. These memories of topography are coursed with violence, and are to be found echoing, as traces and tactics, through sound recordings, manipulations and sonic rearticulations that consider a vast region of topics but always retain the grit and dust, the violence, that forms the struggles of power over the topos.

Soundart from Bulgaria

Ivan Bachev
curator’s biography

3 Bulgarian artists responded to the “Soundlab Channel”request. Thus this contribution could not be representative for the environment in our country, but it is unique in its own way.
Micro (noise, glitch), Atmospherics and Macro (plunderphony, recontextualization) music from the Europe periphery.
