_______________________________

How might performative acts of listening influence understandings of ourselves, community, and our environment? Is the act of listening actually more radical than being heard? Is listening a political act, and how might this be important today?

“Any political act is a speech act. The political speech is the one that ties us together into a single political body, into a single political community (…) To speak, to be able to speak, forcefully implies that one is able to listen. Listening for others literally enables us to speak. Listening is the very first speech act of our life, of our personal history (…) listening is the first speech act of our public life, of our collective history, of our political existence.” (1)

In our present age of networkism, visuality and surface Radikal Unsichtbar is a space for deep concentration, sensuality and presence. Through methods of conscious and active listening, also known as radical listening Radikal Unsichtbar will create an awareness of the invisible acoustic landscapes that surrounds us, and constantly affect us. Central for Radikal Unsichtbar is exchange and collective research and production. Contemporary sound and radio art is characterized by a transgression of traditional fields of knowledge. Approaches from litterature, technology, experimental music, visual arts, documentary, film- performance and theatre are appropriated. Radikal Unsichtbar will bring together the diverse fields of expertise of the participants in order to create a space for collective learning and artistic production.”

Curator and conductor of the project is the Danish sound, performance and radio artist Louise Vind Nielsen. (1) Davide Tarizzo: “What is a political subject?”

Artscene.film made this short but very fine portrait of Hamburg-based artist Angela Anzi, who was a part of the latest act of Radikal Unsichtbar HOW TO LISTEN TO PILLARS AND THINGS. In the video you’ll visit her studio in Veddel and sneak a peek at her recent work “Resistance of Bodies / Persistance of Sound” in collaboration with Carolin Jüngst and Florian Bräunlich presented at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof.

______

This publication is an art book, a sound emitter, a cultural critic and a manual for actions.

The book documents the artistic endeavours of Haxholm and Kirstein, who since 2011 has manifested itself in physically demanding performances within the four white walls of the gallery, invisible interventions in the public space, sculptural actions, workshops, theoretical and poetic texts on the act of listening, ambience, influence and possibilities. In many ways a free flowing artistic praxis that has both dirt under the nails and is theoretically informed from many different fields of knowledge such as science fiction, spy novels, research on terror, the philosophy of art, political theory and architectural theory.

Handbook of Aggressive Listening is both a documentation of their collaborative works, a manual for the reader and a further development of the thoughts that the works have created. Thus the book is not a retrospective best of, but rather an invitation for further reflection and action – a handbook that gives the possibility of change.

The book contains a tone generator, that emits a 10.000 hz tone. This gives the reader the possibility to create a sonic intervention in her close environment – the intimate territory that we on so many levels are in a constant dialogue with.

The texts are written by Haxholm and Kirstein, and by researcher and associate professor in performance design and audiovisual culture, Ulrik Schmidt.

Handbook of Aggressive Listening was made in close collaboration with researcher Rasmus Holmboe, art director Anders Busk, printed at Eksskolens Trykkeri and supported by The Danish Arts Council.

The book will be the stepping stone for a number of dialogues with artists and researchers. Arranged in cooperation with The Lake Radio.
