non-curated (summertime)
Ella Finer and Flora Pitrolo of the collective The International Western presented a performance-composition based on the electromagnetic resonances of the Whitechapel Gallery. An experiment in listening to the non-curated sonic dimension of the building and in bringing the building as sonic document into the archive. non-curated (summertime) was commissioned by Theatrum Mundi for New Resonances.
Ella Finer’s work in sound and performance spans writing, composing and curating with a particular interest in how women’s voices take up space; how bodies acoustically disrupt, challenge or change the order of who is allowed to occupy – command – space.
Flora Pitrolo is a cultural critic whose work in music and performance concentrates on archives of experimental European scenes from the 1980s to the present. She broadcasts as A Colder Consciousness on Resonance FM, runs the record label ACC Records, and has written widely on underground performance and electronic music both as an academic and as a journalist.
New Resonances was organised by Theatrum Mundi and the Onassis Cultural Centre in partnership with Whitechapel Gallery, as part of the INTERFACES project supported by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union.
