Curating potential
Book chapter in the Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art (ed. Sanne Krogh Groth and Holger Schulze)
Juliana Hodkinson interviews Elke Moltrecht (Ensemble Extrakte) and Julia Gerlach (DAAD).
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art explores and delineates what Sound Art is in the 21st century. Sound artworks today embody the contemporary and transcultural trends towards the post-apocalyptic, a wide sensorial spectrum of sonic imaginaries as well as the decolonization and deinstitutionalization around the making of sound. Within the areas of musicology, art history and, later, sound studies, Sound Art has evolved at least since the 1980s into a turbulent field of academic critique and aesthetic analysis. Summoning artists, researchers, curators and critics, this volume takes note of and reflects the most recent shifts and drifts in Sound Art – rooted in sonic histories and implying future trajectories.
