INTERFERENCE: Fields for Listening and Praxis is a group exhibition that aims to bring together practitioners and collectives who adopt sound-based practices as an interventionary tool for focusing on sonic interferences in public environments and social space, while providing a platform for critical discussion within the installation environment with recordings, screenings, performance, printed materials and a micro-conference scheduled later this year. The exhibition takes its subtitle from French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu who used the term 'fields' to describe groups of interrelated social actors that reflect objectified forms of economic interest. For many sound artists this has become a guiding principle for work that introduces field recordings or ambient sounds into institutional spaces, which become instrumental for providing a context that places sound within a broader set of questions about public and private space, mediation, commercial space and second nature. Our intention is to open a dialogue between architectural practices and sound-based initiatives to foreground sound's inherent functionalism within the built environment.

Most urgent here are artistic practices that address the institutional space and its claim of 'neutrality' in an effort to bring attention to its commercial equivalent in retail space - repurposing the conventional function of the installation environment for onsite production. We are particularly interested in artistic practices that engage with background music and the production of 'atmosphere' in public spaces and the gallery environment for observing the conflated or smoothed out relationship between the two. This means that it becomes crucial to critically approach the relationship between sound and public space to trace its impact on human behavior, modes of listening and social relations.
