| Description | This Tate Symposium screening, performance and discussion formed part of the project, Her Noise,
for which Gordon & Koether were commissioned to create the large-scale installation and
performance Reverse Karaoke, which opened at South London Gallery on 10 November 2005. The
Symposium took place in the Starr Auditorium, Tate Modern, London on the 10th of November
2005.
Jutta Koether and Kim Gordon present their collaborative practice through presentations and a
discussion of the genesis of the Her Noise Reverse Karaoke installation which grew out of a
previous art work, the "Club in the Shadow" which took place at Kenny Schachter ConTEMPorary
NYC from September 7th – October 12th, 2003. The club space was, "Close to the Westside
Highway and in the shadow of the Richard Meier Towers" and was proposed as a neighborhood art
club, clubhouse offering culture and entertainment to the proposed residents of the Towers, i.e.
Calvin Klein, etc. The pair discuss the construction of spaces within sites specific to the art world,
as 'temporary autonomous zones' that allow a dissection of the art gallery and the music space, by
occupation of certain practices that fuse to create expanded notions of 'a public' activated through
creative process. |
