S:on is a book and CD to be read, seen, heard, and appreciated. — Musicworks, Canada
This publication grew out of a research project by Nicole Gingras, a Montréal-based independent curator, critic, publisher and media arts event organizer. Her research began in the summer of 2002, as part of a six-month residency at Artexte Information Centre. Having identified various acoustic components in visual and media arts in Canada, the author shares her reflections on this exploratory approach to an art form at the junction of music, visual and performing arts.
Orchestrating key critical essays and never before published texts by 19 authors on events, exhibitions and individual practices, this anthology uncovers and examines the presence of sound and its listening spaces in contemporary Canadian art since the mid-eighties. A CD-Audio produced by Éditions Nicole Gingras accompanies the book.
