Tabita Rezaire is an artist infinity incarnated into an agent of healing. Navigating digital, corporeal and ancestral memory as sites of struggles, she digs into scientific imaginaries to tackle the pervasive matrix of coloniality and the protocols of energetic misalignments that affect our body-mind-spirits. She is part of the artist group NTU, half of the duo Malaxa, and the mother of the energy house SENEB. Recent exhibitions and performances include Centre Pompidou, Paris (2019); Serpentine Galleries, London (2019); MoMA, New York (2018); Gropius Bau, Berlin (2018); MMOMA Moscow (2018); Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2018); ICA, London (2018); V&A Museum, London (2017); National Gallery Denmark, Copenhagen (2017); The Broad, Los Angeles (2016); Tate Modern, London (2015); and Museum of Modern Art Paris (2015).
By disjointing acts of listening from the ear and its particular arrangement of time, Sonic Continuum proposes a shift from representation to expression and asks: can sound restitute failures to listen? How might we listen to time affectively? What auditory imaginaries and possible futures can listening unfold?
In this weeklong sonic offering, artist Tabita Rezaire explores the sonic landscapes of the celestial realms. Taking form as a meditative lecture-listening-observation, it listens out for cosmological, scientific and yogic sonic manifestations of astral beginnings across various cosmologies and ritual traditions.
