Barbara Held flautista y compositora, vive en Barcelona. Su
práctica como músico con formación clásica da prioridad a toda una vida de
colaboración, de trabajo interdisciplinario en relación con otros artistas. Ha
creado un conjunto muy personal de nuevo repertorio para flauta por
compositores españoles y estadounidenses, incluido el "Autorretrato"
de Alvin Lucier para flauta y anemómetro de viento, y trabajos de cine y
performance con Carles Santos y el poeta Joan Brossa. Sus composiciones
colaborativas de video y música se han presentado en entornos muy diversos,
desde el “Z to A Festival” organizado por el Storefront for Art and
Architecture en las calles de New York hasta el Festival LOOP de videoarte en
Barcelona. Conocida por su sutil exploración del material sonoro, crea un
trabajo de sonido sensible y enfocado que expone el detalle del espacio físico
de la escucha.
Katherine Liberovskaya is a Canadian intermedia artist based
in New York City. Involved in experimental video since the 80's, she has
produced numerous single-channel video art pieces, video installations and
video performances, as well as works in other media, that have shown around the
world. Since 2001 her work predominantly focuses on the intersection of moving
image with sound/music in various both ephemeral and fixed forms (projections,
installations, performance), notably through collaborations with many composers
and sound artists in improvised live video+sound concert situations where her
live visuals seek to create improvisatory "music" for the eyes. In
2014 she completed a PhD in art practice entitled "Improvisatory Live
Visuals: Playing Images Like a Musical Instrument" at the Universite du
Quebec in Montreal (UQAM).
And the Second
Announcement:
Contour
Editions is pleased to publish the video work Threshold of
Predictability: A Trilogy by NYC based media artist Katherine
Liberovskaya with music by the legendary composer and filmmaker Phill Niblock.
Katherine’s publication consists of three moving image pieces ranging between
30’ to 60’ where a single event unfolds its outcome slowly with transparency
towards an inevitable conclusion. Each distinct piece features a
different unmistakable drone music composition by Phill Niblock. The three
pieces form a trilogy that spans approximately 138’ of audiovisual
immersion. For listening and detailed information about Threshold of
Predictability visit the publication page within catalog. To

This
online project is the latest development to present works that explore the
various possibilities of sound and moving image, while also engaging with
studio experimentation, materiality, processes, and diverse techniques to
create and treat material and media. Contour Editions' continued effort is
to reach audiences globally on a personalized level, facilitating the
presentation of independent original works of art. Subsequently, establishing a
community of artists sharing similar interests towards incrementally
instituting a significant archive of media works.
