Residencia France Jobin (CA)
Workshop, master class e instalación sonora

France Jobin, artista del sonido y la instalación, compositora y curadora de arte, se dedica a crear instalaciones que incorporan elementos musicales y visuales que exploran el espacio arquitectónico de los lugares que interviene. Sus obras transitan entre lo analógico y lo digital y configuran una experimentación con el sonido y la imagen.

Jobin presentará en Casa del Lago UNAM un workshop que tiene como objetivo que las y los asistentes desarrollen una nueva sensibilidad ante los sonidos de su entorno para crear una pieza sonora. También impartirá una master class en la que expondrá una introducción a su trabajo y hablará de la importancia de los medios visuales y del sonido. Por último, presentará una instalación diseñada especialmente para la Casa del Lago.

Workshop: Introspección

El objetivo del curso es que los estudiantes desarrollen una nueva sensibilidad ante los sonidos que hay a su alrededor y sean capaces de crear una obra sonora que comunique algo de su interés con grabaciones de campo. Durante el primer día se hablará del desarrollo del proyecto para posteriormente grabar los sonidos que llamen su atención. Durante el segundo día usarán los audios para montar un track de un minuto que constituya una pieza sonora.

*El workshop será impartido en inglés*

und transit.03  – Duration 10:00”

We all have the ability to ignore spaces that surround the paths to our destinations. As with most passageways, they are a means to an end, yet not an end in themselves. 

Struck by the loneliness and practicality of such passageways, I conceptualized the first und transit sound installation in Krems, Austria 2009, a series of compositions, in order to create soundscapes for the emptiness of these spaces.

France Jobin

About the exhibit:

by Paul Devens

Just before the independency of Senegal in 1960, the colonial power of France yielded, at Cap manuel in Dakar, a new courthouse. It is a typical kind of a modernistic, Corbusian approach of that time, where progressive ideas of enlightment and uplift ruled. French architects Daniel Babani (1914 – 2006) and Pierre Roux-Dorlut (1919 – 1995) were the designers of this concrete palace; a complex of courtrooms, office rooms, utility spaces and mezzanines.

After the independency the building remains in its original function but also changes into a monument, one of a past, coloured by western influence and power. 

Recently, long after the courthouse lost its original function, the building serves as a stage for African contemporary art at the Dak’Art biennial.

At first, the western-colonial initiative to build the courthouse according to imposed western standards and the issues of post-colonial identity consequential to that, which questions the significance (more).

Following to that the withdrawal from public life and decay and finally, the promotion to one of the major stages of contemporary art in Africa, mostly shaped by African artists from the Diaspora, mainly to western countries. This transformation throughout these years of existence, became manifest in the building itself, its direct environment, the African context and beyond.

The work ‘Dock / Ancien Palais de Justice’ raises questions within the debate of the western and the non-western art discourse by the appropriation of archetypes, symbols and signs and the inclusion of a multiplicity of perspectives.

The installation ‘Dock / Ancien Palais de Justice’ invites the visitor to walk around in a construction, based upon the original floor plan of the old courthouse. This is indicated by microphone stands and running audiotape, which links the resonance of a past to recorded sounds of today.

The ideas on habitat and identity, colored in a personal human environment, and how it changes when the situation is transitional, opened up ways to invite a number of sound artists to compose a dedicated soundscape for this project. A listening space is equipped with a surround installation to serve a spatial experience of these contributions, curated by Cedrik Fermont and Paul Devens.

* Paul Devens (born 1965 in Maastricht, the Netherlands) is a Dutch contemporary artist. He lives and works in Maastricht.

Drawing on a research-based approach within his artistic practice, Paul Devens develops bodies of works that connect elements from sound and architecture. Collecting site-specific audio recordings, Devens actively considers the physical space and social context. He does this through the method of “acousmatic listening”: selecting aspects from particular situations and implementing them in a new one – oftentimes critiquing the original situation. His research manifests in sound based installations, architectonic interventions, performances, and CD and vinyl releases. Simultaneously, he considers the presence of the audience as an integral part of the work in his installations and performances. His work furthermore alludes to infrastructures around value, preconception and code in civil society.    

His work has also been performed, screened and featured in group exhibitions in Ctrl_Alt_Del (Istanbul, 2003, 2005, 2007); OCA/ISP (Oslo, 2004); Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen, 2010); Radio Art Festival (Tallinn, 2011); Diapason Gallery (New York, 2011); D-0 ARK Biennial of Bosnia-Herzegovina (Sarajevo, 2013); Jerusalem show (Jerusalem, 2014); Stimulating Synapse, EMAA (Nicosia, 2015); Galerija Umjetnina (Split, 2015); Hacking Habitat (Utrecht, 2016); bb15 (Linz, 2016), Off program ‘Electromagnetique Mobile’ Dak’art (Dakar 2018); IBB ‘Circumstantial Radio’ (Curacao, 2018) among others. Devens plays in bands like Otomax (2016), Kendo Bahn Orchestra (2011) and Meerschaum (2017), he teaches art at Mafad, Maastricht and sometimes works as a curator.   

Soledad – Medellin

Laboratorio de arte sonoro –

Semana #1  – 4 – 12 de Septiembre – Exploratorio
Semana #2 – 18 – 22 de Septiembre – MAMM (LAB3)

Inauguramos nuestra plataforma itinerante con un nuevo taller para el mes de Septiembre.

A raíz de su visita durante la Semana de la Escucha, la artista France Jobin quedó profundamente interesada por explorar más a fondo Medellín y sus sonidos, y es así como nace un laboratorio para proponer el arte sonoro, la música ambient y la escucha minimalista dentro de nuestro contexto.

“Soledad, Medellín” comenzará con una primera etapa de escucha y grabación de campo en el territorio, que se desarrollará en el Exploratorio del Parque Explora; y culminará con una segunda etapa de procesamiento del paisaje sonoro y con el proceso de difusión multi-canal para una instalación a realizarse con los participantes en el LAB3 del Mamm Medellín.

El laboratorio busca reconocer una multidimensionalidad de la escucha al introducirse en el entorno para sentirlo, procesarlo e imaginarlo, en su soledad, que es también esa del escucha.

El laboratorio es gratuito, con cupos limitados e inscripción previa. Más información: http://auditum.co/evento/soledad-medellin-laboratorio-de-arte-sonoro/

Soledad” will bring the participants closer to their territory by the “act of field recording” in various parts of the city that are sonically contrasting in terms of social dynamics, geography and neighbourhoods. The multidimensionality specific to Medellin offers a rich sound palette that may enable the participants to reconnect with their environment.

Throughout this process, we will share knowledge, perceptions and thoughts which I hope will inspire the participants to re-connect with their environment and ultimately, themselves. The idea of solitude is not approached from a perception of isolation but rather from a recognition of one’s connection in a world of disconnect. Technology has enabled us to be more  connected yet, we have never been so apart. Social media sells this illusion of hyper connected society yet, more people are unhappy and isolated.

With this workshop, I-we hope to achieve a state of “Soledad”, similar to a zen state, utilizing technology, the act of listening and ambient minimal sound art in order re-connect with one, and ultimately others.

Soledad” will conclude as a multichannel sound installation created by the participants to be presented September 22nd and 23rd  at MAMM -LAB3. They will be taken through the entire process of the creation of a sound installation up to and including the inauguration of their project, an opportunity for us all to experience a collective solitude through sound art.

Entre/temps

Entre/temps – Site specific sound installation June 4 -September 30 2017

Entre/temps at Eremo Celestianiano Di Madonna Dell’Altare, in Panela (CH), a site specific sound installation and
France Jobin will perform the opening concert for the opening of the festival Eremi Arte.

Entre/temps

Is an in-situ installation resulting from my daily encounters and experiences with the people and landscape of the Abruzzo region. The location, la Madonna dell’altare is a particular setting for this work. Constructed in the 14th century, it is placed on a cliff that makes the building impenetrable from three sides.

Yet, there is a fragility here, a beauty in landscape that defies time. In this spirit, entre/temps proposes a small intermission, a moment of time, within time.

‘entre/temps’ è un’installazione in-situ, risultato delle mie esperienze e incontri quotidiani con la gente e il paesaggio della regione Abruzzo. Il luogo de La Madonna dell’Altare rappresenta una cornice speciale per questo lavoro. Costruita nel 14° secolo, la struttura è situata su una scogliera che la rende impenetrabile da tre lati.

Eppure c’è una fragilità qui, una bellezza nel paesaggio che sfida il tempo. In questo spirito, ‘entre/temps’ si configura come una piccola pausa, un attimo di tempo nel tempo.

More about  Entre-deux :

Jobin was one of five international artists selected to present her sound installation, Entre-Deux, in the new media exhibit Data/Fields, curated by Richard Chartier at Artisphere in the Washington, DC area, along with Ryoji Ikeda, Mark Fell, Caleb Coppock, and Andy Graydon. Her proposition received critical acclaim from the national press.

Created entirely with actual field recordings from across the globe and on location around Artisphere, Montreal sound artist France Jobin’s site-specific work Entre-deux explores acts of systemic, yet subjective, information gathering. Spaces and times are chosen for their inherent beauty, then processed and reformed as location and experience itself becomes transposed. Entre-deux is the re-placing of data.  RC

France Jobin will present  a four-channel sound installation and live performance on October 28th 2016 for the closing of Haunted Formalism.

STARTS AT 8

This event marks the closing of Haunted Formalism, which true to its exploration of ambivalence and in-betweenness itself adopts two interrelated, concurrent forms. An exhibition of new works by Nicole Phungrasamee Fein and Dean Smith establishes the thematic concerns that inform an ongoing program of live, limited-capacity events, creating an open-ended dialogue between disparate practices that evolves through experiences intended for a small audience.

Yet these dialogues themselves arise from tensions within the artists’ works. Among the most fundamental takes place between art and science; Smith’s drawings in graphite, we argue, can be interpreted in terms of the relational properties of the carbon atoms that compose his medium, while Fein’s compositions, which evoke supernovae and cell-culture dishes, recall the simultaneous coexistence of two states possible in the quantum realm.

France Jobin makes work that emerges from the proposition of an unlikely parallel between quantum mechanics and composing. Just as Heisenberg discovered that scientific precision encounters a limit past a certain scale, so too does the composer stand in an uncertain relationship to the feelings and emotional states that inform his or her work, necessarily falling short of full knowledge. The conundrum is doubled with respect to the listener, for whom the sounds at hand may well have been processed past the point of recognizability, obscuring yet still indicating their material source.

This evening will comprise a four-channel sound installation and a live performance. Tickets are $18, and capacity is limited.
