Foldable Soundbath #5

The Foldable Sounds Collective presents Foldable Soundbath. The collective formed during the April 2020 lockdown and is composed of three artists: Daniela Maria Geraci, Lucy Rose Cunningham and Isabelle Pead. Individually dealing with sound as an archival, performative and narrational tool, collectively they interrogate sound’s potential to sonically transport the imagination outside one’s four walls, drawing on a global need for freedom of movement.

This month, Foldable Sound's Daniela had the mad pleasure of interviewing Maria Abramenko (@mariabramenko) - an independent curator and art writer for Nasty Magazine.

We touch on sound art and sound curation in a "contemporary art" context, and talk about Palermo Art Weekend’s first edition (@palermoartweekend), a programme of digital and sound art in Sicily’s capital curated by Maria herself, to which Daniela had the pleasure of co-curating the research programme along with Giulia Anselmo (giulia__an).

As usual, the mix is punctuated by our open call submissions along with two pieces from Palermo Art Weekend by Gili Lavy (@gili_lavy) and Cyphr (@cyphrrrr). It’s cold out, so buckle up, rig your speakers and wriggle south - deep into the Med.
