One of a kind

Undercurrent utilizes a modified tape player, an audiocassette loop, an amplifier, and two speakers to draw attention to function- and-defunctionalization of media and repurposing discarded utilities. In this situation the objects become ephemeral devices of noise generating textures, crackles, pops, beeps, and hardly noticeable frequencies to create a sonic filed similar to those we encounter everyday from utilities with which we live. The work keeps progressing as it continuously plays back and disintegrates the magnetic tape over time. All objects in the work are sensitive to touch and subsequently have the potential to further change the sonic output.

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.
