Ekphrasis, listening session for Sala Ricson

On January 27, Diego Bustamante presents the results of the residency he has carried out during 2022 as part of the experimental program on music and sound Audio Formal/ Listening Politics. Bustamante has developed a sound content curatorial project that explores the relationship of sound material within artistic production, establishing a dialogue with different artists who have been residents at Hangar from 1997 to date, encouraging them to revisit their personal archives, locate sound pieces and unveil their stories.

With this exercise of revision and emphasis on sound, the aim is to give value to sound pieces of diverse nature, treating them as autonomous pieces and making them coexist in a space specially prepared for an attentive listening.

For its public presentation, this project will adopt the format of a ‘listening session’, exploring the possibilities offered by the Ricson room, the sound spatialization and an automated programming of the content.
