Tips of the Sung
-
(b.1988, London) is an artist and writer based in Bergen, Norway. He works with language as raw material—moulding, stretching and transforming physical texts on screens, on the page and within speech sound. In his work, he explores how digital culture has reprogrammed our relationship to language, and the emotional impacts of this ongoing process.
Elephanten / Book Aloud #2
21st November / 17:30 - 19:00
Lydgalleriet and Northing are pleased to invite you to the book launch of Tips of the Sung by artist and writer Samuel Brzeski. It is also the 2nd issue of “Book Aloud”, a monthly event hosted by Northing’s bookshop, Elephanten.
Tips of the Sung is a collection of interdisciplinary texts from Brzeski composed over the past five years whilst he has been Associate Artist at Lydgalleriet. The collection brings together performance scripts for voice and video with newly composed texts for the page. Centring on the vibrations of the voice, the texts exist somewhere between signification and delirium, at times making more sound than sense.
The texts are full of bumbling mumbles, meandering hums, homophones, inner voices, affirmations, motivations, subvocalisations, resolutions, errors in speech production, peach seduction, car maintenance manuals, self-help fallacies, roomy echo chambers, overheard language lessons, morning meditations, and other forms of verbal rehearsal at the limits of language.
Tips of the Sung is published by Lydgalleriet / Vibrational Semantics, Bergen. The book and special edition poster is designed by Mads Andersen / PART and the project is supported by Arts Council Norway and Norwegian Visual Artists Fund.
