Together with the recently founded SKALAR - Centre for Experimental Music and Sound Art, nomadenetappe initiated an exchange-project which in its first stage will bring a group of artists from Linz/Austria to a discarded fish factory located on the outskirts of Seyðisfjörðurs/Iceland. For a duration of approx. one week the artists, whose work mainly focuses on the medium sound, will work on site on various projects, resulting in a hybrid showcase of exhibition, live concerts, workshops and lectures taking place from October 4 - Oktober 7 2012.
In this context the rather trivial and offhand request ”repeat, please …“ – being the first message transmitted via the 1858 submerged first transatlantic submarine cable – functions both as a title of the exhibition and as a methodical instruction accompanying the artistic process. Most obviously repetition is inherent to scientific or artistic research for it is impossible to verify any hypothesis without employing repetition as the key-method of trial and experiment. However at the same time repetition alone cannot trigger new findings but must enhanced by a difference producing momentum in terms of constant modification of testing method and set-up. Every mode of research – or should we say: life? – is thus a paradoxical combination of both difference and repetition. Speaking of life in general: to a large extend our life consits of single actions that we continously reperform: every morning we get dressed, make coffee, drink it – daily routines and basic thoughts that after many repetitions are part of a realm shifting between reality and dream, present and past, interweaving memory with imagination… at this very intersection repetition becomes invention: instead of merely re-membering we are rather re-inventing how to get dress, to make coffee and to drink it. Hence memory, imagination and invention are inseperably entangeld. When it comes to art dealing with sound as means of expression some sort of ”a-priori difference“ seems to be intrinsically linked to repetition: even the a thousand times heard Acid Loop sounds different each time because it hardly ever impinges upon exactly the same spatial conditions twice.
The concept of repetition in its above briefly outlined complexity is the starting point for several works and projects either brought along or yet to be realized by the austrian artists at Skalar. http://skálar.is
