Industry / Matrices, threads and sounds

Industry / Matrices, threads and sounds is a publication that operates A project by Lorenzo Sandoval and Tono Vizcaíno as a reader in the project of the same name, and brings together a selection of texts and images of the people and entities that have collaborated in the process.

Industry is a hybrid proposal that is situated between the creation of an archive and an artistic project. Its aim is to offer a necessarily partial reading of Valencian industrial heritage, based on sound, the immaterial and social movements. The proposal has been undertaken through the compilation of sounds, processes, images, videos, music, pieces of art and speeches linked to the factories in their original context of use, but also in their abandonment and their reconversion into heritage spaces.

This volume contains materials from the archive, from the matrices or documentation meetings organised during the research work, from the theoretical seminar that culminated the first stage of the project, as well as a brief essay on Rodchencko’s Workers’ Club, which freely inspires the artistic facility carried out at IVAM Institut Valencià d’Art Modern.

An Ongoing-Offcoming Tale

—

An Ongoing-Offcoming Tale comprises abstractions, subversions and poetic ruminations, housed within essays that engage with the lives and practices of over 30 artists. It opens with the question: If only some leaves could speak? And in the journey that follows, we encounter many such possibilities – that leave us asking questions of the boundaries we place around the things we are allowed to think, the knowledge we call knowledge, and the questions we permit ourselves to ask.

Coming to Know

—

Coming to Know asks how listening to the past together might transform our sense of the knowledge held in common. It sets aside the visual techniques of the archaeological site, the museum, and the larger project of colonial modernity, and instead constitutes itself as a resonant structure—a future-oriented monument to historically situated listening bodies as well as a dwelling place for community now.

A Slightly Curving Place

—

A Slightly Curving Place asks what it means to listen to the past and its absence which remains. It responds to the practice of acoustic archaeologist Umashankar Manthravadi, whose life and work are a history of sound and technology through the second half of the twentieth century.
