the point at which language becomes music, and at which music becomes a language

Italian artist Alessandro Bosetti probes the slippage between information and pure sound in speech – the point at which language becomes music, and at which music becomes a language - with his work Mask Mirror. using a synthesiser to manipulate spoken word samples from field research, interviews, conversations and soliloquies to develop elaborate abstract live compositions.

A political space is often opened where contradictions and complex relations occur. Rather than constructing a biography that illustrates, it seems more interesting to explore a political history of an artist's friendship with his collaborators and interlocutors, including myself.

Born in Huwei, Taiwan, Hong-Kai Wang is an artist, researcher and educator based in Vienna and Taipei. She is currently a PhD in Practice candidate at Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

The process of Wang’s research-based practice is profoundly informed by the unceasing tension between languages, ideologies, identities and knowledge regimes she experienced growing up on an island long plagued by histories of colonialism. It is situated at the intersection of aesthetic, discursive and knowledge production, often concerned with politics of missing knowledges resulted by encounters between histories, lived experience and power. Through experimenting with modes of listening, organizing pedagogy as temporary gatherings, mobilizing collaborative sociality as performance, and encouraging alterior bodily interpretations, Wang’s practice often seeks to forge unlikely affiliation beyond received chronologies and geographies in the milieu of art and discourse making as well as studying and teaching in art. Her works span performance, installation, workshop, publication, sound work, etc.

Wang has presented her practice internationally at Documenta 14, Taipei Biennial, Parasophia Kyoto International Festival Contemporary Culture, Liquid Architecture, Kunsthall Trondheim, Museum of Modern Art New York, Taiwan Pavilion, the 54th Venice Biennale among others.
Wang is currently part of the MFA Music/Sound Faculty of Bard College.

For me, music never exists alone; a composer must always deal with interrelationships.

Berlin-based composer Johannes Kreidler works in the mode of ‘expanded composition’. His compositions, while musical, are not about music – but rather the systems, economies, and regimes of value that structure music’s place in our world. Pursuing this music/not music approach Kreidler has become a leading figure in ‘conceptualism’, an approach at the intersection of composition and conceptual art.
