In Practice: Sam Cottington and Alejandro Villabona
Sam Cottington and Alejandro Villabona will develop a new video installation and performance for SculptureCenter. Together their work condenses vocal fragments from an omnipresent cloud of popular media, internet phenomena, and personal communication into new monologues marked by ambivalent relations between speaker and receiver. Skirting context (and often clear content) in favor of sonic texture, their texts capture a particular unsettled subjectivity and expressive range in the language of our time, rapidly driving the tone of address from self-consciously performative, to callous, to menacing and manipulative.
