Green Noise
This is an exhibition about what it is to make a noise. 7 artists chose their favorite noises and these descriptions were given to 14 object makers who translated those descriptions into objects, photographed them, and these photographs were given to 7 artists to translate into noises.
To be noisy is to be aberrant by the standards and rules that the social imposes us on. Noise, by this virtue, is radical. It would seem that background noise, in its capacity to be ignored, circumvents this radicality. Yet, on the level of analogy, contending with the sounds of what might be overlooked is the current struggle of our moment. By foregrounding the background noise of the world, “Green Noise” will suggest, through its relational and work responsive nature, that within the oft-overlooked there is radicality and potency waiting to be heard.
