Rumor by Joaquín Gutiérrez Hadid

"In 2014, I made a sound installation at the Ruth Benzacar gallery called 'El espacio es negro'. The speakers were placed in a public corridor, beside the gallery, between the street and an underground parking. There was a ventilation grille that led to the different interiors of the gallery space. So, the sounds were echoing in three different places in the same time, connecting museum, corridor, and parking. The work deals with different kinds of space limitations and their (hidden) communications. Between cultural institutions and the mundane, from the exceptional to the everyday, surrounding areas affect each other, creating a sonic link between inner and outer, private and public. 'Rumor' uses recordings collected for and during the installation as source material. Recorded within the gallery space and the underground parking, 'Rumor' features the sounds of ventilation tubes, an alarm bell, a cabinet, a ladder, and a thin vibrating metal because of the cars passing by on the upper floors". — Joaquín Gutiérrez Hadid

Joaquín Gutiérrez Hadid was born in 1986. Through an immersive listening, he does much of his work with field recordings and contact microphones to capture events and sensitive environment data. Places, objects, memories, being in transit and the act of listening itself, are his main interests and sources of inspirations to instigate crossings between experience and parallel realities. In 2016, he was artist in residence at MACBA (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires). He has also exhibited works at the Ruth Benzacar and CCEBA (Centro Cultural de España en Buenos Aires). His previous works are documented on Errant Bodies Press, Impulsive Habitat, and Vague Terrain. In September, he is going to perform at MUTEK. He lives and works in Buenos Aires.
