ELECTRA PARTNERS UP WITH UBUWEB
Electra is delighted to announce its partnership with UbuWeb, the largest
educational resource for avant-garde material on the internet, specifically
visual, concrete and sound poetry, expanding to include film and MP3 archives.
UbuWeb was founded in response to the marginal distribution of crucial
avant-garde material. It remains non-commercial and operates on a gift economy.
UbuWeb ensures educational open access to out-of-print works that find a second
life through digital reprint while representing the work of contemporaries. It
addresses problems in the distribution of and access to intellectual materials.
UbuWeb does not distribute commercially viable works but rather resurrects sound,
video and textual works through their translation into a web environment,
re-contextualising them with current academic commentary and contemporary
practice. UbuWeb was founded in 1996 by the poet Kenneth Goldsmith and it
continues to be an open, free space.
With the shared ethos of improving accessibility to avant-garde material,
Electra and UbuWeb will work together to bring regular content from Electra's
archives to Ubu.web's public.
The partnership is inaugurated with the launch of Her Noise: The Making Of, a
60 minute documentary produced by Electra, which is now available as a stream
on UbuWeb.
The video documents the development of the
Her Noise
project
between 2001 and 2005 and features interviews with artists including Diamanda
Galas, Lydia Lunch, Kim Gordon, Jutta Koether, Peaches, Marina Rosenfeld,
Kembra Pfhaler, Chicks On Speed, Else Marie Pade, Kaffe Matthews, Emma
Hedditch, Christina Kubisch and the show's curators, Lina Dzuverovic and Anne
Hilde Neset. The documentary also features excerpts from live performances
held during the Her Noise exhibition at South London Gallery by Kim Gordon,
Jutta Koether and Jenny Hoyston (Erase Errata), Christina Carter, Heather
Leigh Murray, Ana Da Silva (The Raincoats), Spider And The Webs, Partyline
and Marina Rosenfeld's 'Emotional Orchestra' at Tate Modern. The documentary will
also available on DVD from Electra.

LINA DZUVEROVIC CONTRIBUTES TEXT TO THE NEW ISSUE OF'DIALOGUE':
The Love Affair Between The Museum And the Arts Of Sound. But Will It Last?
'Dialogue' is an online resource programmed by Axis.
In this new text Lina considers the intersection between the 'arts of sound' and visual arts institutions. Lina highlights a number of frequently adopted models from the one-off sound exhibition, sound as the entertainment within a broader programme, and visual and sound art collaborations. In critically examining these models Lina questions the superficial nature of some of these approaches and considers why sound remains absent from collections and commissioning programmes.
