For the 7th installment of our popular Parallels series, Martin Howse (UK) will lead a 3-day community workshop that will conclude with a live performance at the ANNEX on March 15, featuring Howse and the workshop participants.
Across 3 days, the workshop will develop a series of performance protocols and hybrid physical/electronic instruments with the aim to open up human speech and vocalisation to foreign material processes, to other living and non-living beings and to the geologic. The research and instruments emerging from and developed in this workshop will be used as part of a collective collaborative presentation with the workshop participants that will be an extension of Howse’s live performance of his work Tract.
Stay tuned for more details and registration information. Sign up to our newsletter for updates.
Martin Howse is an artist occupied with an investigation of the links between the earth (geophysical phenomena), software and the human psyche (psychogeophysics) through the construction of experimental situations (performances, laboratories, walks, and workshops), material art works and publications.
From 1998 to 2005 Howse was director of ap, a software performance group working with electronic waste, pioneering an early approach to digital glitch. From 2007 to 2009 he hosted a regular workshop, micro-residency and salon series in Berlin. Howse has worked and collaborated on acclaimed projects and practices such as The Crystal World, Psychogeophysics, Earthboot, Sketches towards an Earth Computer and Dissolutions. From 2016 to 2018 he initiated and led the large-scale artist research project Shift Register, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, examining the rendering experiential of the signs and markers of the anthropocene.
For the last ten years he has initiated numerous open-laboratory style projects and performed, published, lectured and exhibited worldwide. He has shown work as part of the Taipei Biennale, and in major venues such as ICA London, TEA Tenerife, HKW Berlin and Museu Coleção Berardo, Lisbon.
