Polly Gould The Martial Art of What We Say
Performance on Saturday 29 October 2005
7pm
for 7:30pm
The Martial Art of What We Say is a live-sound work
that recounts a meeting between a man and a woman in a bar.
In recalling this conversation, the loud speakers take the
place of the two protagonists while the members of the
audience become players in the piece, and stand in for the
crowd on a busy dance floor, a crowded meeting place. The
soundtrack is cut onto discs and played back from the mixing
decks by the artist, who is silent apart from the
amplification of recorded sound. The narrative tells of
voice, violence and self-defence; the physical effect of
subsonic sounds and the power-play in conversations.
