The first exhibition in the new space of Lateral Roma, located in the Roman neighbourhood of Appio-Latino, brings to­gether four sound works by artists Tobias Koch, Rada Koželj, Double Goocher Shop and Semuel Lala. Each artist’s work can be heard for three days, inviting visitors to con­cen­trated listening sessions.

From 2–4 March, Tobias Koch presents Chamber Music (2021), a sound­track that chroni­cles signs, objects, and messages based on Bifo Berardi’s writings on the “age of imagi­naries”. Seque­nces of musical instrumen­tation are overlayed with binaural field recordings and rendered to multi-dimen­sional sound­scapes. Replicating distinct characteristics of baroque, Chamber Music becomes a sonic echo chamber that has no begin­ning and no end, sowing narra­tives by relying on the spatial-temporal expe­rience of listening.

With a text by Jazmina Figueroa, read it here.

And some thoughts on the exhibition here.
