Drawing on concrete examples from his
projects, including directed live musical and sonic performances, instructions, protocols and collaborations with visual and
performance artists, Fellay demonstrates how the conduction underlying his approach can be understood as a living metaphor
for curation. The talk will include theoretical analysis and audiovisual excerpts from his works to illustrate these mechanisms.
Christophe Fellay, a Swiss sound artist, musician and composer, is Head of the Sound Department
at EDHEA – École de design et haute école d’art du Valais (HES SO Valais). His research and artistic practice span a broad
spectrum, including indisciplinarity, improvisation, active listening, acoustic phenomena, space, sound and architecture,
documentation and archiving, soundscape ecology, digital art and participatory art.
The event is a
collaboration between The Atlas project and mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, hosted by the class of Angélica
Castelló Garnett, Course for Electroacoustic and Experimental Music (ELAK), IKT, Department of Composition Studies and Music
Production. It takes place within the framework of the FWF PEEK project
AR 721 The Atlas (of Creative Mechanisms): [Curating
Conduction], directed by Senior Postdoctoral Researcher Basak Senova at the Institute of Art and Art Education, University
of Applied Arts Vienna.
The talk will be held in English.
