No song to sing

The point of departure for No Song to Sing starts with two songs belonging to pop culture: a homonymous theme composed by the English musician Michael Chapman for Rainwater (1969), his first album; and one of Stevie Wonder’s most celebrated hits, I Just Called to Say I Love You (1984). In both cases, the songs opposing relation between absence and presence produces a conceptual ambiguity that relates, in a poetic way, with the sound productions of contemporary art. No Song to Sing suggests two kinds of approaches to sound. It offers, first, a reference space consisting of ten physical and virtual editions (vinyl, CD and online versions) belonging to artists linked to sound practices; and, second, a series of exhibited aftereffects where their artistic production spreads through ADN Platform’s space and time by means as diverse as drawing, video, sculpture, performance and concert.
