Palix - Benjamin L. Aman / transports
Released on Razzle Dazzle
50 copies
Recent
collaboration between Paris based laptop composer Palix and Benjamin L.
Aman, visual and sound artist born in France. These two artists started
working together at The Living Currency a performative exhibition curated
by CAC Bretigny, conducted by Palix for 6th Berlin BIennale in 2010 at HAU
2 and dedicated to a group interpretation of several pieces from Christian
Wolff, Scratch Orchestra' members and Cornelius Cardew. Then, both musicians
kept collaborating on their own work, sharing the same interest for visual
compositions and invisible travels.

This presentation of Sleep Disorders is the third in a series of projects initiated in
2010 by artists Marion Auburtin and Benjamin Aman; they have been invited by
Melissa Steckbauer at The Wand to co-curate a new show, culling work and
artists from their program mixed with a short selection of Steckbauer's
choosing. Together they will
address themes shifting between conditions of inner quietude, restlessness, and
inexplicable upset. Materials are
given special attention, will be expansively reconfigured, and gently pushed
into borderline positions within the rooms of the project space. Below is an excerpt from the “Sleep
Disorders” catalog held at Centres d'Art Contemporain Dominique Lang & Nei
Liicht, 2011.
Whether one is lost in
dreamland or crushed down beneath the yoke, there comes a moment when sleep
eases the conscious from the burden of life, letting it drift away. Everybody
seems to take for granted the many references made to the night or to the
darkness in visual or poetic arts. Be it as a bottomless abyss or as a real
hamper to action - obscurity comes out as an ideal state to reveal the most
indistinctable shapes or forces. Hence Sleep Disorders must not be perceived as
an exhibition purely centered on dreams or night itself. Instead of putting the
accent on the possible "obvious" side of the works presented, we wish
to give a push to a still side, to a sort of shady environement gradually
brightening up into the mere core of action.
Sleep Disorders shows pieces
of dormant instability, pieces standing right on the very thin edge of the
wedge. Some of them drag you through endless contradictions, others take you
through the meanders of obsessions. Some just make it thanks to the
"benefit of doubt". And this despite the fact that all of them are put
together in the depth of the same state of uncertainty, when one longs for a
recovering rest endlessly postponed to the day after. We cannot expect the
artists to trick us because they are not tricksters, nor to reassure us because
their aim is not to reassure.

Empty Space - Live + Exhibition at Hbc, Berlin - July 21st
‘As far as consistency of thought goes I prefer inconsistency’ John Cage, interview by John Corbett (1989)
The empty space is a fundamental component of our Universe, as it represent 75 % of it. Hypothetic theories based on a cosmological constant form advance that a constant energy is filling the space and has a role of vacuum but the predicational measurements of this matter is not coinciding with the quantum theory that we know today. It’s the paradoxical state of unsubstantial materiality that interests us: the empty space is actually not empty and possesses it’s own energy, where quantum particles are in constant movement forming and disappearing. Yet, this empty space is imaged empty because it is, indeed, the observation of the absence of real material in spacial zones. Relation to the silence is an other way to explore the empty idea, with the concepts of both ‘white noise’ (all audible frequencies at the same time) and ‘black noise’ (silence). That’s through the succession, superposition and intermingling of all that vacuum that we’ll describe a story of the empty.
