The singings will be recorded in Buenos Aires and sourced from individuals belonging to the various communities composing the city. \n\nThis project follows a series of two similar projects. \u201cThe Wind Will Carry Us\u201d was produced in 2016 and comprised a series of recordings of people singing in their mother tongues \u2013 in Dari, Farsi, and Kurdish. The work was recorded in a village located in Southern Germany and focused on the moment of shared intimacy that exists beyond language between someone singing and someone listening.\n\nBuilding upon these conceptual grounds, I was invited by the Darat al Funun, a key contemporary art institution in Jordan, to develop a similar work. Titled \u201cA Fragile Chorus of Voices\u201d, this work was conducted over a period of six weeks in Amman. There, the singings were understood as means to reflect upon the geopolitical, social, and postcolonial context of the Levant.\n\nIn Buenos Aires, the work will be conducted over a period of four to five weeks in collaboration with BIENALSUR and local non-governmental and cultural organizations. Presented as a sound installation, the project is intended as a participatory survey of the voices of Buenos Aires. Brought together, the singings will speak about the diversity of a city and reflect upon its socio-economic realities.","space":"The project will be presented as a single-channel sound installation. The recordings are broadcasted from a single loudspeaker mounted either inside or outside \u2013 ideally, the project is presented in a public space, either a garden or a public plaza. Final locations will be decided in conversation with BIENALSUR.\n\nMaterials: loudspeaker (hornspeaker), player, amplifier\nDuration: Loop (the installation is automated and alternates between silence and singing)","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/vincent-chomaz\/sets\/a-fragile-chorus-of-voices","images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":3,"names":"Vincent","surname":"Chomaz","email":"vincentchomaz@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"14DA14795","address":"Schierker Strasse 35","city":"Berlin","nacionality":"French","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1981-01-07T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1981-01-07T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+4917699022444","web":"www.vincentchomaz.art"}
