Nicosia’s art scene will soon host a new group exhibition with sound at its front and centre. Titled Sonic Entanglements: Phenomenologies of Sound, or Psithiros, in Greek, the exhibition comes together through a process of attunement to different modalities of sound, asking the audience to trace the liminalities and sonic qualities of the works.

Curated by Evagoria Dapola, the showcase presents new works by Maria Spivak, Androula Kafa, Demetris Tampakis, Christos Kyriakides and Panayiotis Andreou. It will run at Korai Project Space from February 21 to March 14.

“The exhibition,” comment organisers, “is a stark reminder that listening is a full-bodied and tran/s/ensorial practice of tuning into relational signs of the contemporary sensorium. It urges us to be attuned to frequencies both familiar and unfamiliar, consider the ambience by tuning in to the known and unknown, recognising familiar and infra-ordinary frequencies. A soft suggestion to privilege sound over silence, reconsidering the meanings of rhythm and vibration.

“The project focuses on establishing that listening is far beyond consumptive action,” they conclude, “it is rather a gift of intimacy, based on mutual respect, reciprocity and responsibility. This movement will conclude with a brief conversation with the curator and the artists on sound and its materiality, and the purpose of audio in creative practice.”
