Oceanen presents: Gothenburg Art Sounds
LIVE AT OCEANEN 19/10:
19.00 - 19.50: ANN ROSÉN [SE]
Since her MFA at Konstfack, Ann Rosén has worked professionally as an artist. Early in her career, she became interested in using sound as material, and since the 1990s her artistic focus has been on sound art and music. Ann Rosén’s works have been exhibited or performed at venues ranging from the Royal Swedish Opera to clubs in Berlin. Rosén’s oeuvre includes social sculptures, choreographic works, spatial representations, sound art, choral works, sound
installations, video, sculpted silence, performance, and art music. In her artistic process, she explores interpersonal relationships and our relationships with the world around us. Her art can easiest be described as the consequence of an action. She currently runs the international ensemble The Barrier Orchestra. Previously, she had the trio Syntjuntan, who played on sewn textile synthesizers.
20.20 - 21.10: RYOKO AKAMA [JP/UK]
Ryoko Akama is a Japanese-Korean artist working with installation, performance and composition, residing in Huddersfield, UK. Her works sculpt domestic appliances and scrap wastes with invisible energy, especially interested in heat, magnetism and gravity, into kinetic contraptions. Her site-specific works infuse both aural / visual occurrence as one entity, creating ephemeral situations that magnify undefinable relationships between noise and silence, time and space. Her recent artistic practice examines architectural awareness, immigration ecology and conflict, cultural fluidity, relativity of livings. She is an artistic director for ame c.i.c., supporting DIY culture and underground art/music scene. She also co-runs the independent publisher mumei publishing.
