Sound Exhibition :
13th August 2022 Saturday 2:30-6:30pm
Running Time : 12 minutes. Free Entry
‘For this exhibition I am presenting a sound recording of my process of making sour dough bread in the bakery. For the anniversary of the gallery I am using the dictionary meaning of the word Diffusion as inspiration: ‘The state of being spread out or transmitted especially by contact’. It is an experimental piece in which the sound of the machinery as well as organic matter creates a rhythmic but also abstract sound.
I am interested in the paradox between the organic sounds of water and flour against electronic and mechanical ones from the equipment while milling, mixing, shaping, turning, cutting, cleaning and baking.
I am interested in bread because it seems simple at first but the more you look the more complex it becomes: it is a domestic object but also a symbol of power. First of all I use bread because I enjoy making it. I find particularly interesting all the mechanisms that are involved in artisanal making such as: time, precision, order and intuition.
Then the work acquires a new perspective when it’s made to be displayed in a gallery. Bread becomes the agent for questioning the relationship between the object, the audience and the space it inhabits.’ – Marisol Malatesta
