Hand to your ear at Emalin

Curated by Gabriella Nugent
Moving beyond conceptions of sound as a sensory quality, Hand to your ear treats sound as a haptic and corporeal experience. Part 1 (presence/surplus) explores the connections created by sound between people and across geographies. In doing so, it examines sound as a strategy of contact, of being seen and heard by others. If sound entails an experience of visibility, Part 2 (noise/silence) considers its inverse: silence and opacity as in, after Édouard Glissant, the refusal to be knowable, understood and rendered transparent by a dominant Western order. The exhibition turns to silence as a violent experience, as in being silenced, but also as a political position or a strategy of refusal to be seen and heard, or to be intelligible by the power structures that bind subjects.
Artists include: Cameron Clayborn, Alvaro Barrington, Nikita Gale, Tarek Lakhrissi, Ghislaine Leung, Jasper Marsalis, Alison O’Daniel, Malick Sidibé, Kate Spencer Stewart, Sung Tieu and Dominique White.
