. Artists in situ
Starting August 10, sound artist Mathias Guilbaud and visual artist Marina Oprea will be in an artist residency in Timișoara as part of Urbanities, the result of a new collaboration between SIMULTAN and SEMI SILENT SEMI SILENT
Urbanities is a pilot program of artist residencies based on dialogue between diverse practices, with prominent interest in urban space.
Starting from the observation of the city as a stratification of infrastructure, memory, communities, different regimes of speed and visibility, these residencies mark, from a critical perspective, the way these layers overlap, or remain invisible in the official reading of the city.
The residency invites Mathias Guilbaud Mathias Guilbaud and Marina Oprea Marina Oprea to work together across disciplines, using urban space as material for observation and experiment. The two will explore the city through the lens of their own practices >sonic and visual< pursuing the transformations that shape their daily life, and also the way in which space and time can be articulated in the representation of urban atmosphere.
