Hello artist

The motivation behind “prosody16” is to invoke the voice of the artist in a physical way through a recorded conversation (audio only). What is voiced in the recorded conversation—images & words—will be developed & made into a screenprinted 16 page A5 zine.

This is an opportunity to not rehash current tendencies, but to explore new ideas & territories beyond the established preserve of the artist. I am fostering & willing into being, into voice, an aesthetics of risk, the dark register that torments & expands the consumerist & digitised image of the artist & their work via the solicitation of viscerally awkward images & words where fantasy & dream-logic run riot. rip David Lynch.

The process will involve a recorded conversation that will voice the deep recesses of the artist's work & confront the temporal & spatial setting in which their work inhabits or resists, from white cube to kitchen table to bedroom. No pre-conversation questionnaire or post-editing of conversation will take place. The voice of the artist will remain intact, awkward & human.

This is a DIY non-profit endeavour.
