Winter School 2020 – Theme & Registration
8th edition
Listening pieces:
experimentation, exhibition, sensory interactions
The winter school organized by CRESSON within the framework of the International Sound Week takes the form of a week of discovery and observation to introduce and explore the laboratory’s methods and productions associated with the sound environment, its study and transformations.
It is aimed at students, teachers, researchers, decision-makers, architects, artists, urban planners, sociologists, sound recorders… and to anyone interested in sound.
It will happen from
27th to 31st January 2020
at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Grenoble,
under the responsibility of Grégoire Chelkoff and Théo Marchal (Architectes)
with Eléonore Bak, artist, sound artist, teacher a tthe school of art of Lorraine France
Thematic Theme
“Listening piece”, consists of a sound and spatial investigation through the production of an experimental artifact or sound installation to create and experiment spaces and situations to be lived and heard. The term “piece” is used in both meanings of the term: piece to listen to, living room. The sensitive experiences of the places we inhabit or pass through are associated with specific devices that make or modulate the partition of our sound experiences. The objective is to question these spaces of use and/or these uses of spaces through testing and experience by creating situations, conditions, or even sound provocations.
This intensive and immersive time will be an opportunity for participants to discover the concepts and methods of the laboratory, but also to experiment and invent on these bases.
Sound production associated with an experimental space artifact or sound installation will be the objectives of this week. The listening device questions the notion of exposure and sound experimentation based on the study of a neighbourhood and on sound archives and/or restitution devices.
Once completed, the “listening pieces” will also solicit the other senses associated with the spatial experience: movement, tactility, luminosity, scents in order to question the sensory interactions and ambient qualities evoked or perceived in the installations produced.
Process:
Theories and practices over 5 days, from monday to friday.
– Four debates sessions will be held each day to present the key concepts and methods introducing the sound dimension into the approach to landscape, urban spaces and architecture.
– The afternoons will be devoted to the in situ approach and the design of listening rooms installations. They will take place on the selected sites (sound recording, experiments) and/or in the production workshop (editing and mixing) at the school of architecture & CRESSON laboratory.
A presentation of the manufactured installation will take place on the last afternoon of the week. The installation will remain in place for one month for testing purposes.
(the detailed program will be available soon on ehas.hypotheses.org).
Working languages: English / French
