default #19

default is excited to invite you to the 19th edition of Default Den Haag, taking place at The Grey Space on the 14th of December. The program will feature artists from diverse disciplines, each exploring different sound poetics.

The program will feature artists from various disciplinary backgrounds, engaging in different sound poetics. Zara Joan Miller works across film, poetry and performance, often playing with movement and sound as a way of reimagining a body’s rhythm. Performing with words and slide-projections, her work seeks to unravel boundaries between human and non-human nature. Mette Edvardsen is a choreographer and performer eager to explore the performing arts as a practice and situation, also in relation to other media such as books, writing and sound. In this edition of default den haag, Edversen will bring selected materials from her collaborative work with her daughter Iben Edvardsen ‘Livre d’images sans images’, which involved three different media – vinyl (released via ‘xing’), paper and live performance –, describing scenes, playing tracks of voices from the past, summoning images of moons to come. Augustė Vickunaitė, an affiliate of the venturesome DIY community surrounding the Vilnius ‘Studium P’ venue, uses reel-to-reel tape recorders to play and record, articulating diverse layers of recordings including found material, field recordings, voice, music instruments, objects, and the whole spectrum of malfunctions of decaying technology. Lastly, Tom Mudd will be presenting work in relation to his last year’s release – ‘Guitar Cultures’, that features a fascinating take on the use of physical models – digital synthesis processes based on physical simulations of acoustic objects and instruments.
