Arika is a curatorial collaborator for the 2012 Whitney Biennial. 2012 Biennial
The Scottish group Arika organizes festivals, tours, and community projects focused on experimental forms of music, sound, and film or moving image, relating them to conceptual writing, performance, and philosophy. Their project for the Biennial is a performed survey of listening and its different registers: musical, literary, political, or philosophical. They are interested in the process of listening as it organizes our experience and causes us to think. Each day, they will invite you to listen—to musicians, thinkers, activists, or artists—during experimental music performances, investigations into the politics of listening, explorations of listening practices in conceptual writing or poetry (and readings thereof), and talks or discussions between artists and audiences. Their survey—undertaken along with collaborators Ultra-red, Craig Dworkin, Sean Meehan, Yasunao Tone, Brandon LaBelle, and others—will develop up to and through their time at the Biennial.
This project is presented by Arika and the Whitney Museum of American Art and support for this Biennial residency is provided by Bentley Meeker, Creative Scotland, Bold Works, and Julia and is presented as part of the Year of Creative Scotland.
