May 10 2013 - Nice Rain, performance at Errant Bodies, Berlin
Nice Rain by Gilles Aubry
performance and discussion
May 10th 2013 h 19.00
Kollwitzstraße 97 1 Berlin
The project Nice Rain
takes the city of Berlin as a pretext for exploring the notion of urban
sound document from the perspective of a diversity of recording
practices and intentions. Confronted with the difficulties to discover
new strong narratives by simply listening to the Berlin public space,
I've decided to explore instead the narratives embedded within already
existing audio documents related to the city. As an alternative to a
classic city soundscape like some of my previous works, I will present a
collection of Berlin audio recordings from the personal archive of
various practitioners who I know personally, some living in Berlin and
some elsewhere.
While all of the recordings
will be referring to Berlin as their location, each one will represent a
specific recording practice corresponding to an intention more or less
defined by its author. The live mixing of these files over multiple
loudspeakers will thus be an attempt to create something like a
soundscape of (documentary) intentions, while at the same time
generating an arbitrary sound travel through various public locations of
the city.
One aim of the project is
also to discuss and re-situate the community of field recording
practices within a field of intentionality and reflexivity, as possibly
opposed to a logic of place.

Instrumental is a performance installation that explores sound’s engagement with time and process, and the productive tensions between the notions of sound-as-object and sound-as-becoming. The installation uses recordings from an intensive six-day series of improvisations (open daily to the public) and remaps them across the space of LEAP, creating a sound environment that will be altered daily by the artists.
The work culminates in a live performance event on Saturday April 6th in which Mario Asef and Gilles Aubry will play in collaborative response to the installation’s sound.

February 28, 2013 - Presentation at FICA, Delhi
Presentation at Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA), Delhi:
Date: Thursday, 28 February 2013
Time: 5:30 pm
Venue: FICA Reading Room, D-42 Defence Colony, New Delhi 110024
Gilles Aubry is a sound artist currently part of the Pro Helvetia India residency programme. He will present his research in progress about the 'Bollywood soundscape' in Mumbai. Over six weeks in early 2013 he has recorded people at work in the film/TV industry, including music and dance studios, acting schools, shootings, auditions, dress manufacturers and theaters among others, documenting at the same time the soundscape of the neighbourhoods where these activities were taking place.
While the aesthetics and politics of Bollywood images may have been often described as products of an increasingly globalized and normalized entertainment industry, Aubry's recordings display an astonishing complexity, possibly covering many aspects of the contemporary Indian society.
Along with excerpts of the soundtrack of Pasolini's 1969 film essay “Notes towards a film about India”, Aubry will discuss the very idea of using film-making as a way to question society.

May 7 2012 - ORIGINALFASSUNG #78: GILLES AUBRY
Gilles Aubry – Movies without pictures
The art work Pluie de Feu is the result of a field research by sound artist Gilles Aubry in collaboration with sociologist Gerda Heck, cameraman Arnold Maluamyangila and journalist Massy Nguvu. During his stay in Kinshasa in july 2011, Aubry has documented the activities of the neo-pentecostal Libambu Ministry church, as well as acoustic signs related to the presence of numerous other religious communities and individuals in Kinshasa's public space.
Pluie de Feu presents a selection of sounds from this documentation, including a soul deliverance session from the church’s weekly religious service, the preparation and performance of an evangelization campaign in Ngiri-Ngiri and prophet Libambu's own video archive. The soundtrack also contains excerpts from Nigerian Nollywood and Western horror movies which were recorded inside small informal movie theaters.
Gilles Aubry will present excerpts of Pluie de Feu (2011) and The Preview (2012), as examples of his experimentations with radical iconoclast film formats, that is movies without pictures that consist solely of a soundtrack and projected subtitles. He will discuss the conditions and theoretical implications of such works regarding sound representation in a stable context of reception (the cinema room): What are the correspondences between the audible, the sayable and the absent yet possible image? Which new regimes of truth are emerging out of this absence? In what extent does the sensible get redistributed in this configuration? The presentation will end with a short sound performance based on a quadraphonic recording of a soul deliverance session by the Libambu Ministry church in Kinshasa.

December 17 2011 - Urban Documents - an artistic field recording workshop with Gilles Aubry
Sound artist Gilles Aubry offers workshop participants a short, practical introduction to field recording. He will also talk about his own artistic practice. Following a short presentation of his work in the current exhibition 'the Urban Cultures of Global Prayers', the participants will go about making their own audio recordings of simple day-to-day situations in the immediate vicinity of the NGBK.
After this excursion, the participants will gather back at the NGBK and do some 'collective listening' as well as discussing experiences and results. Aspects of sound production will be discussed, such as: how does the author of the work position themselves? Who is heard? Who is not heard? How can we record the sound of spaces? What is the difference between auditive documentation and classic visual documentation formats?

_
New art works "Pluie de Feu" and " and "The Laman Encounter" by Gilles Aubry
for the group exhibition "Urban cultures of Global Prayers" at NGBK Gallery, Berlin.
The exhibition the Urban Cultures of Global Prayers takes place at the NGBK in Berlin from Nov 11, 2011 to Jan 8th, 2012. It looks at the media-based and cultural modes of expression of global prayers (through photographic series, video installations and soundscapes) and at the mobilization of the religious and its effect on urban life in the 21st century. The questions at the center of this investigation concern the relationship between new urban religious movements and state structures, the adaption of public tasks by non-state actors, autonomous organizational structures, the localization of transnational actors, and the production of urban space by religious communities.
Other artists include: Sabine Bitter / Helmut Weber (AT), Lía Dansker (AR), Aryo Danusiri (ID), Katja Eydel (D), Frida Hartz (MX), Magdalena Kallenberger / Dorothea Nold (D), Verónica Mastrosimone (AR), Rika Collective (KE), Sandra Schäfer (D), Surabhi Sharma (IN), Sevgi Ortaç (TR), Jens Wenkel / Lagos Film Workshop (NG), Paola Yacoub (LB).

Sep 8 2011 - Twisted Realism - Venice Biennale
p
Projection of "Twisted Realism", a film by Raphael Cuomo & Maria Iorio at the 54th Venice Biennale, sound mix by Gilles Aubry.
TWISTED REALISM
Twisted Realism takes Pasolini’s film Mamma Roma (1962) as a case study to investigate the period of reconstruction and “economic miracle” in Italy. A polyphony of voices recounts the scenario of the film as well as different aspects of its production and diffusion, which manifest political moments within the broader cinematic agency. The video revisits some shooting locations of Mamma Roma and embodies a new geography of contemporary Rome and its historical and present peripheries. It investigates various “aesthetics of reality” in the cinematographic depictions of the urban development of the INA-Casa Tuscolano district, a large-scale social housing project built between 1950 and 1960, and deconstructs the propagandistic logics of a series of “documentary” films that promoted both the government plans and a new expression of citizenship. Twisted Realism manifests the institutional and legal frameworks of the current commercial exploitation of Mamma Roma to question the privatization of culture and the monopolization of the mediascape as well as a certain mode of writing national history. It uncovers the power relationships and state violence that gave a decisive influence to Pasolini’s project behind the present mercantile discourses on the “glorious Italian art cinema of the 1960s”.

Oscillation Series No. 9
date: 29th of May 2011, Sun. 8pm
title: The Politics of Listening
with: Rachel O’Dwyer and Gilles Aubry (moderated by Jan Thoben and Shintaro Miyazaki)
place: General Public, Schönhauser Allee 167c, Berlin.
Rachel O’Dwyer – Media Publics: The Politics of Listening Together
Recent transformations in media practices through digitally networked platforms have chronicled a shift from traditional media audience models towards ‘media publics’, reflecting the active and engaged stance that this term infers. Today’s media publics, it can be argued, are not passive receivers, but are directly contributing to the critique, production and dissemination of contemporary culture.
This talk will explore this condition by focusing on the evolution of contemporary listening practices in response to the proliferation of mobile, networked and reproduction technologies. In light of changing media ecologies, how might we understand listening, as opposed to discursive practices, as publically and politically orientated? What opportunities exist for political consensus, action, or resistance through these new ways of listening together?
Gilles Aubry: Artist Presentation
For the Sonic Theories series, Gilles Aubry will present some of his recent artistic works, including Hi-Fi Borders (2010), an installation combining a research on the transformation of the Swiss-French border within the Schengen context and a critical analysis of surround sound technology, Outside of the Plane (2008), an installation based on a conversation about airplanes sounds with Egyptian sound artist Magdi Mustafa and Reversible Sound Wall (2011), an installation created for the outdoor art exhibition “Art en plein Air 2011” in Môtiers, Switzerland. These works will serve as an introduction for discussing several artistic strategies related to political aspects of sound production and reception within various contexts.

Exposition – Exhibition
14.05 – 22.05.2011
Musée Réattu, Arles
As a guest of the effervescent setting of the Musée Réattu | Sur mesures, where revolve contemporary art and Old Master paintings, Gilles Aubry – an anthropologist at least as much as a sound sculptor – draws the raw material of a journey that puts everything at stake. Inserted into the network of the museum spaces, his intervention Flux donnés à entendre works as an ionizing layer, quietly modifying the relationship between sculpture, drawing and photography present in the site. By varying the asymmetry of the eye and ear, he subtly telescopes an exhibition tailored to "fix" the look. At the same time, while he blurs the boundaries of perception, he questions the basis of the divisions of knowledge and taste. What is striking is above all the joyful vitality that emanates from these sound spirals - like those Wagnerian waves frozen in midair and suspended in the mineral void of the archives room, or of these Hollywood chase scenes projected in the Cour d’honneur turned into an ironic Drive-in pour l'oreille. This accumulation of listening points, but also of diverted music (smelling like spices or burned) gives an overview of the artist's imagination attentive to the "globality" and the crossing of energies.

Kommentar: Helmut Draxler
Das Projekt Global Prayers beschäftigt sich mit der Transformation verschiedener Metropolen der Welt durch neue religiöse Bewegungen. Die urbanen Felder dieses Kultur- und Forschungsprojekts sind stark von Ritualen, Transzendenz und spirituellen Erlebnissen, Performance und Ideologie geprägt. An dem Projekt sind KünstlerInnen beteiligt, die zum einen über Kunst in religiösen und städtischen Kontexten forschen, zum anderen selbst künstlerische und dokumentarische Mittel einsetzen, um die jeweiligen lokalen urbanen Settings zu untersuchen; sie alle produzieren ästhetisch-materialbasiert Beiträge für die Ausstellung in der NGBK.
Die KünstlerInnen von Global Prayers haben eine erste Phase der Recherche durchlaufen und in Rio de Janeiro, Lagos, Beirut, Kinshasa und Berlin Aufnahmen in Sound und Bild gemacht. In dem GlobalPrayers.Saloon #2 berichten sie von ihren jeweiligen Ansätzen, Verfahrensweisen und Methoden in ihren Forschungen.
Mit Helmut Draxler und dem Publikum soll die viel zitierte Formel „artistic research“ diskutiert werden: Was soll und kann die Kunst (anders machen) in der Forschung?

April 2011 - 'the sound of democracy' now online
_
The compilation El so de la democracia is the result of a four days workshop on « the politics of sound » which I conducted at l’ull cec, Barcelona, in November 2010. The project started with a collective sound documentation of the regional elections that take place once every four years in Catalunia.
Our group visited polling stations in several neighbourhoods in the city, recording the election process, atmospheres, voices of citizens and party members, as well as sounds from the surroundings.
These recordings have then served as a basis for group discussions about contemporary and historical democratic practices, as well as about political aspects of sound production and reception. Finally, each participant has produced an individual track mirroring these reflections, using sometimes additional audio material from media or historical sources.
Following Rancière’s idea of « politics as a form of experience which revolves around what is seen and what can be said about it, around who has the ability to see and the talent to speak, around the properties of spaces and the possibilities of time », our attention went especially to those voices which remain unheard in the democratic process of voting. By approaching polling stations as sound environments and considering them in relation with the social structure of their surroundings, the absence in the process of those whose part in the civic society is that they « have no part » became more evident: migrants, homeless people, teenagers, absentionists and other outsiders.
Writing these lines, I’m witnessing on TV changes happening right now in Libya – a revolution – which represent another powerful example of « sound of democracy ». Such democratic eruptions reminds us that democracy is always rooted in the violent desire to interrupt and reconfigure power relations, a desire which still haunts the relative silence and peace of our polling stations.
