Music for Forgotten Places

mffp-cover

Music for Forgotten Places sends city residents out into their neighborhoods on a strange journey of exploration and discovery. Located at various forgotten sites are small, hand-made wooden signs, each engraved with a title and a phone number. Upon discovering this mysterious object, explorers can call the number and hear a piece of music composed especially for that place.

This project was developed by Oliver Oliver Blank during his Artist-in-Residence period at the Museum of Contemporary Art in A Coruña, Spain. As our cities burgeon and thrive, we can become enveloped in the chaos and thrall. In turn we begin to forget the joy of exploration and the thrill of discovery.

This project is a celebration of non-places – a joyful rediscovery of the cities in which we live. By instilling city residents with a sense of place and encouraging them to find their own perspective, Music for Forgotten Places transforms lost locations into landmarks, and introduces curiosity and surprise into our daily lives.

Remote Citizen

REMOTE CITIZEN, Istanbul, 15.10.2011 –

Street performance, participants conducted in public space by wireless system. The project REMOTE CITIZEN was till now performed in 17 european cities in France, Switzerland, Turkey and Armenia. More to follow..

Up to 50 actors are telecommanded via wireless intercom (remote directing).

The goal is to perceive the motion flow in public places, directly analyse it and use it in its spontaneous evaluation via performative elements. Through direct control of the actions, remote citizen influences the flow of normality, deflects it, brings it to a standstill, or speeds it up. The intervention is subtle, it gives the place a slight temporary stir that can be mysterious, eerie, or funny.
