Prior to the opening of the exhibition Proximity Music: Visceral Acts on Friday April 7 in and around Amare, artist and curator Matteo Marangoni, and artists Vivian Caccuri, Vica Pacheco, and Naomi Rincón Gallardo will be demonstrating and discussing their approaches and instruments that invite us to recalibrate our relations to natural elements and complex ecological systems, while connecting with different forms of knowledge. From Vica Pacheco’s pre-Columbian whistling vessels to Vivian Caccuri and Thiago Lanis’ recreated sounds from the forest. And from Naomi Rincon Gallardo’s entangled stories of counter-worlds, to Matteo Marangoni and Dieter Vandoren’s swarm of artificial creatures that respond to the sun, the clouds, and the shadows of trees.
