30 Cycles of Flux is a sound piece that consists of an oscillator emitting a 30 cycles wave (right below human beings hearing range) to activate speaker cones with white strings attached to the center of each cone. The speakers hang from the ceiling with the cone facing down and with a white string attached to the center of each cone. When the cones become activated by the infrasonic wave the strings move in a constant flow subsequently producing a kinetic visualization of the wave.

This is an object construct and time-based sound artwork that may be considered both sound site-specific sculpture and sound installation. The work may consist of any number of cones with a minimum of two. The work also adapts to the exhibition space based on the specifications of the environment. Depending on the number of cones, the work may adjust taking shape into various configurations such as square, rectangular, triangular, asymmetrical, or even linear.

Documentation from the solo exhibition Extraneous to the Message
March 2 – April 13, 2013

Julian Navarro is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Richard Garet.

The exhibition consists of objects, installations, and multi-channel space interventions that invites observation on the conditions of sound and its reception into the processes of listening, immersion, communication, and noise as the background plateau that is embedded in everyday function.

Garet’s intimate spaces and immersive situations, whether conceptual in origin or stemming from his investigation of sound and function, are informed by the background noise established by mass media culture of everyday life. Garet’s reductive process seeks to invert the normative function of this background noise, drawing it up from subliminal status to an active presence. He finds further inspiration from objectifying the ordinary and from materials that incorporate problems of context, technology, defunctionalization, commodity, and situation.

These works propose ideas that rest on depictions of ontological investigations of sound, time, media, information, and noise as a subversive voice alongside commodification. The title of this exhibition, “Extraneous to the Message,” invites contemplation on the activity of listening, as the activity that reinvents the experience of the subject, by comprehending sonic fields and the importance of its symbolic value within a context of subjective-noise.
