V zadnjih desetih letih je Avstralec Lawrence English, glasbenik, pisec, založnik in kurator, postal eno vodilnih mednarodnih imen na področju terenskih posnetkov, elektroakustične in ambientalne glasbe. Odlikuje ga izreden smisel za kreiranje ekspresivnih zvočnih krajin, v katerih členi našo percepcijo zvoka in prostora ter nas pelje v samo srčiko zvoka, ki ga pojmuje skozi politiko poslušanja. Dela in nastopa po vsem svetu, od Antarktike do Japonske. Njegovi posnetki odražajo oseben pristop, ki ga zaznamuje izpiljena tehnika in subtilno sledenje premenam zvoka.
Je lastnik založbe Room40, ki je izdala nekaj najboljših ambientalnih albumov vseh časov, npr. Keitha Fullertona Whitmana in Tima Heckerja. Sodeloval je z vodilnimi imeni na področju elektroakustične glasbe in zvočne umetnosti, z ustvarjalci, kot so DJ Olive, David Toop, Stephan Vitiello, Akio Suzuki, Liz Harris (Grouper) in Francisco Lopez.
Za svoj letošnji album Cruel Optimism pravi, da je protest proti begunski krizi, Donaldu Trumpu, uporabi zvočnih orožij in vsemu, kar nam napoveduje prihodnost, h končnemu izdelku pa so med drugim pomembno prispevali nekdanji član gromke zasedbe Swans Thor Harris in dve tretjini dragulja improvizirane godbe, tria The Necks.

Organizacija: MoTA – Muzej tranzitornih umetnosti v koprodukciji s Kinom Šiška.

Museum of Transitory Art

MoTA –

Museum of Transitory Art

MoTA is a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to advancing the research, production and presentation of transitory, experimental, and live art forms.

MoTA is a museum without a permanent collection or a fixed space. Instead, its programs are realised in different locations and contexts in temporary physical and virtual spaces.

MoTA organizes and supports transitory art in the form of continuous events, exhibitions and educational programs both locally and internationally. As its name indicates, MoTA examines what a museum can be today and in the future.

MoTA is in constant search for the new, the uncertain, and the undefined.

MoTA works on several continuous programmes & projects. We run MoTA Point – a Space for Art & Ideas, we curate and produce the annual SONICA Festival, in addition to regular music programmes such as SONICA Series and SONICA Classics.

Within the years of running our residency programme, we’ve established T.R.I.B.E. – a network of residency spaces in the Balkans & Eastern Europe.

We’ve also initiated the research and archive platforms ArtistTalk.eu and Mediateque MoTA & Tomaž Brate. Our educational programmes serve a broader audience with ongoing workshops, talks, symposia, and internships.
