Synopsis

Compiling works and writings from the last 13 years, this comprehensive monograph on American artist, writer and theorist Brandon LaBelle (born 1969) captures the artist’s expansive practice. Originally from Los Angeles and currently based in Berlin, LaBelle has been at the forefront of the sound arts since the mid-1990s, developing projects that adopt methods of intervention and spatial practice, that work with voice and modes of address, and that stage scenes of public gathering based on notions of interruption and radical sharing. LaBelle is a highly unique artist and writer, engaged in collaborative and public work, and the monograph documents his diverse activities in a range of international contexts. It includes a CD of a recent line performance by Labelle, essays on the artist by writer Fred Dewey, curator Edit Molnár, and cultural theorist Jeremy Woodruff, along with an interview with the artist by Elena Biserna.

About this title

About the Author

Brandon Labelle est musicien, artiste, écrivain, théoricien, commissaire d'exposition et éditeur (fondateur de Errant Bodies). Son travail, basé sur l'installation sonore, la performance, l'enregistrement, l'utilisation de sons recyclés et l'environnement dans lequel ils sont diffusés, nourrit une réflexion théorique sur les dimensions sociales de l'écoute et sur la manière dont le son, en de multiples variations, agit sur l'espace public. Il établit des connections entre différents médias en introduisant du vocabulaire vidéo, architectural ou sculptural dans un champ plus large de problématiques rhétoriques et spatiales.
