Listening at Depth 
Sep 2023



When the composer and music theorist Pauline Oliveros wrote her book Deep Listening: A Composer’s Sound Practice, she sought to bring to our attention the symbiotic relationship between sound and its surroundings. “As you listen, the particles of sound decide to be heard,”as she poetically put it. She defined “deep listening” as the heightened state of awareness that connects to all there is — the act of listening to more than one reality simultaneously.

10 Jan 2021Few materials have experienced a similar revaluation in contemporary art as clay has in the past few years.

Monstrous Matter
10 Jan 2021In recent years, scientists and humanities researchers have started to understand organisms as nodes in complex networks—networks so intricate that it’s impossible to distinguish where an organism begins or ends. I explores the ways in which Croatian artist Dora Budor’s recent works speak to the interconnectedness of matter from biological and historical points of view, revealing how it helps us make sense of the messy and troubled times we find ourselves in.
