Sounding the Void: What kind of generative opportunity lies in the act of tactful listening?
In What is it to Listen? curator Bhavisha Panchia proposes that how we listen, determines what we hear. We Killed the President – a triptych of micro fictions written by Bongani Kona conjures an unnamed dictatorship; the soundtrack of a coup located in the everywhere. Together, the essays probe the poetic, speculative and critical capacity of sound and listening.
Under the shared tagline 'Spreads Like Wildfire', these essays by Anna Hartford and Hedley Twidle were commissioned on the occasion of the exhibition Risk to explore how an installation might act as a prompt for a practitioner towards further artistic research and creative production.
