The fifth group exhibition of Sound Art Incubator project showcases young and emerging artists which investigate sound as an artistic medium. Developed as part of the Mochvara Gallery programme. Sound Art Incubator is a production platform that publishes an annual open call for artists working with sound in order to produce and present their works. Experiment, research and hybrid art forms are continuously in the focus of the platform, as well as this year's exhibition and performances presenting new productions and co-productions realized through Sound Art Incubator.
Nine authors and eight artworks demonstrate the wide spectrum of themes and formats through which sound is investigated by this artistic scene, from the more intimate impressions of the quotidian, to research into media and technology of sound reproduction. Melodic quality and noise of the everyday life are an important topic in the works of Ana Sladetić and Jason Mulhausen, as well as in the interactive installation of the Beat Busters collective (Damjan Blažun & Filip Borelli). Tin Dožić and Hrvoje Spudić deal with properties of the media and interventions in methods of sound recording and reproduction in their installations, while Hrvoje Pelicarić and Marijo Franić investigate relations and influences between the physical body, space, human perception and sound. At the exhibition opening, Andrija Santro will gather the Delay's Choir – six performers who will use audio effects to manipulate sound in time, and time in sound.
Sound Art Incubator 2017 presents again a small insight into the young artistic scene dealing with sound as a subject, inspiration, mean of expression and topic – a quick sneak peek into the future of local new media arts.
