01.
Sound art has consistently been a part of CYLAND’s festivals and exhibitions. We have been experimental with our approach, largely because when exhibited amongst multimedia installations, sound art can easily fall in the shadows. It was a long process of trial and error to find a concept that would manifest in physical form a presence of sound in an exhibition space. There were probes with using portable players or tablets, headphones or directional speakers.
02.
Surprisingly, the most suitable medium — vinyl records — has always been available and remains to be a means of record and archive, it’s so well suited for representation of sound. Using records, we can now store, and showcase sound art in its most natural physical form. First-hand interaction with a turntable became a good additional feature. While the curator’s job is to compile a selection of records for an exhibition, people themselves manage the rest — they choose records to play, and run through descriptions. Each of the releases presented, are a stand-alone pieces accompanied with an artist statement, short commentary from auteur. — Sergey Komarov
