ARCHIVED WORK OF PARTICIPATING ARTISTS & SCHOLARS

Natalia Matta

From the secluded situation of artists in Haiti and the tragic events that followed the massive earthquake of January 2010, I will take an artists' community from the peripheral Port-au-Prince to an international centre of art in Europe. Not their artwork but the artists themselves. My project for the biennale consisted of making sound recordings to document my experience at the Grand Rue, home of a renowned community of artists, survivors of the big earthquake of 2010, with the purpose of creating a series of 'aftershocks' in the form of sound installations outside Haiti.

Following my participation at the Biennale I will engage in the creation, production and exhibition of a SONIC MONUMENT that will release sound frequencies able not only to be heard by the audience but also to be felt by making a gallery space in Europe tremble with infrasonic frequencies from Haiti.
