Mattin in collaboration with Loïc Blairon, Ray Brassier,
Emma Hedditch, Esther Ferrer, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Anthony
Iles, Matthieu Saladin, Howard Slater...

Taking as a starting point the book Noise & Capitalism and
the desire to explore noise and improvisation in social and
political terms, the CAC exhibition context will become an
improvised concert lasting for two months. Going through
different degrees of intensity, nothing will remain static;
the production and reception will take place simultaneously.
By collapsing the formats of exhibition and concert into
each other, the potential of the different usages of the
noun noise will be explored rather than simply
perpetuating noise as a musical genre. Playing with
different levels of visibility and invisibility, some
activities will be more formal than others. Interventions
by different people will take different forms, such as an
improvised zine, a continuously generated performance
program, an open invitation to improvise with the material
conditions of the exhibition... .

Historically, noise – in its many forms – has disrupted
established codes, orders, discourses, habits and
expectations, aesthetics and moralities. Noise has the
potential to exceed the logic of framing, by either being
too much, too complex, too dense and difficult to decode or
too chaotic to be measured. At first encounter noise has the
power to suspend values of judgement such as good or bad or
right or wrong. To think of it in moral or ethical terms
seems ridiculous. Noise, with its epistemic violence,
brings into crisis the division between activity and
passivity, and between knowing and feeling. By making us
aware of our incapacity to decipher it, noise can expose to
us our alienated condition, making us question our own
subject position.

Can the practice of noise and improvisation help us in any
way to understand or even counter the level of
commodification that our lives have reached under the
capitalist mode of production? Can we use noise as a form
of praxis going beyond established audience/performer
relationships? Can we push self-reflexivity to the point of
positive feedback?

El arte que viene...

Grandes nombres y una tendencia en materia expositiva que se consolida en España son las notas dominantes de un 2011 que se prevé cargado de interesantes propuestas y supone la consecución de un año formado por un calendario que aún deparará sorpresas, como un otoño encabezado por Renoir en El Prado, Mario Testino y los impresionistas en el Thyssen, flamencos y holandeses copando el Guggenheim Bilbao, o Lorca y Dalí en Madrid como protagonistas de las exposiciones de La Caixa. Por lo demás, autores de prestigio para el 2011, entre los que se encuentran unos esperados Jean-Léon Gérôme, Antonio López, Brancusi y Serra, Feldmann, Lartigue, Delacroix, y, fuera de nuestras fronteras, Gauguin, Miró, Leonardo, Canaletto, Gossaert o Muybridge como la oferta más interesante.
