“Exercises of listening” is a continuation of the project by Polish artistic duo Ewa Doroszenko and Jacek Doroszenko. At the starting point for the show was “The same horizon repeated at every moment of the walk”, a film created at the Fundació AAVC Hangar in Barcelona in 2014. In the film the landscape becomes a musical notation system, where moving figure determines the pitch on a frequency-related scale.
In the first solo show of Ewa and Jacek Doroszenko in Brno, sound is treated as a legitimate material of visual art, audible and visible spheres interact with each other. The sound recording technique allows to approach the transparency of the environmental sound and to present it visually in a new context.
The show “Exercises of listening” is a recapitulation of all of the project’s various themes. Jacek Doroszenko creates a combination of sounds that have been captured in an immersive environment. The film “It’s hard to find a polyphonic body” produced during an artistic residence at the Kunstnarhuset Messen Ålvik in Norway in 2015 will be presented at FAIT GALLERY PREVIEW for the first time ever. Ewa Doroszenko confronts herself with acoustic environment through more remote references, attempting to translate selected audio events to the visual language. Her graphic prints illustrate the flow of sound material: collecting, archiving, reproduction in the context of digital times.
