Being Silence - a Residency at the Crypt Gallery
Crypt Gallery Residency 2 - 10 April 2016
Evgenia Emets
Times: Open daily 1-5pm, with the exception of 6 April when
the gallery will close at 4pm
The residency at the Crypt Gallery is a ten-day dedication to the
silence. The objective is to make time for silent practice, reflection and
capture what emerges in the moment. Connecting with the space and its
properties, Evgenia works with the memory of the place; it’s aurality and
architecture through sonic and visual poetry.
Silence cannot be explained but can be experienced. It is not space
between sounds, or absence of sound. It is a quality of presence, an act of
being in a particular way. Silence is active in itself and it takes a little
time to hear it sound.
Evgenia will install existing work ‘Interrogated Silence’. This artwork is an invitation to consciously act out through sound
and writing the invisible roots in our psyche, of trauma, doubt, and
attachments, to voice them and to let go of them. Whether positive or negative,
kept under during life, they will resurface when the time is right. It is an
invitation to consciously bring them to the light of awareness. There is no analysis,
no thinking, no talking done, witnessing and voicing. Audience are invited to
partake in this on-going participatory project where anyone can decide to go
through their own process.
The space becomes a setting for a series of spontaneous performances
throughout the time of the residency, including an afternoon performance on
Saturday, 9 April with Nao Masuda. Please follow the news on http://www.evgeniaemets.vision/.
