Migrating Inwards unites the work of two ArtCenter alumni, Wendy Wischer and Antonia Wright, and two resident artists, Luis Garcia-Nerey and David Zalben. Wischer invokes the viewer to reflect on the sensation of flight as if looking out from above while simultaneously observing inwards. Zalben evokes innocence and freedom with his flock of birds leading the eye into the space. Garcia-Nerey invites viewers to construct themselves within his work while Wright explores different realities existing at the same time.

FOREIGN BODIES: Sound Poetry featuring Vincent Barras & Jacques Demierre, Chris Mann and Thierry Simonot

FOREIGN BODIES is a performance of the process of transfer, of exchange, of translation between the work of Vincent Barras & Jacques Demierre and that of Chris Mann, an amazing confrontation of different sonic organisms. The trio Barras, Demierre and Mann, is joined on stage by Thierry Simonot, sound engineer, who extends the speech space of the three performers through a set of loudspeakers.

About Vincent Barras & Jacques Demierre
Talk, verbal stuff, is taken as a primary component, drawn from materials found in the work of linguist Ferdinand de Saussure on various ancient and modern languages (the so called “Indo-European” languages). The detailed analysis of the sonorities of the ancient and modern languages, their re-elaboration and re-composition is finally embodied in a score-text, spread out on stage in its concrete dimensions through the language performance of the two sound artists. The body is where this vocal investigation takes place, digging in the primitive sound matter of language.

About Chris Mann
His works for voice are based on complex texts freely composed to allow a play of wit and humor. He explores the textures and gestures of Australian speech, with its rhythms and qualities of color, pitch, intonation and emphasis. Interest in language, in technology, in systems and philosophy is evident in his work. His approach is reading in a unique and incredibly dense way, with great virtuosity and high-speed embedded texts. “Language is the mechanism whereby you understand what I’m thinking better than I do. (Where “I” is defined by those changes for which I is required).”

Foreign Bodies is possible with the support of Canton of Geneva, Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia and the City of Geneva.
