“Zimoun breaks the distance we think exists between structure and chaos. Ordered, structured, and temporal-minded work enables the organic creation of noise by pared-down elements that evoke a Minimalist ethos. Though the works are by definition noise, they involve quietening in order to listen. They are gentle reminders that when you stop to listen, you hear what you might have missed.

Planned and ordered mechanisms enable minimal materials to make the noise they happen to make. This causes us to think about what structure means for creative production. Does creative freedom benefit from planned organisation?”

Dead Air

Steve Bates (MTL) | 2011

aceartinc., 2ND floor, 290 McDermot Ave.
October 6 – November 10 | Tuesday – Saturday, 12 PM – 5 PM

Walter Benjamin’s ‘silent’ radio broadcast conjures an all-encompassing void. The Eiffel Tower radiates the first coordinated time beacon signaling an electro-acoustic temporal control of empire and colonial coordination. An abstracted time suffuses daily life. Dead Air considers experiential outcomes of this new era of timekeeping.
