相關經歷

作品說明

暫時性、就地取材、合作,是迪倫‧馬托雷爾富音樂

性的藝術創作的基石。壟罩在以音樂表現離散精神

(diaspora)的思維框架之下,他的作品深受音樂能

優游於不同空間的特質所感染,任何地理、氣候、文

化、與材質的改變,都能在音樂中察覺,成為一種跨

文化交流的媒介。

其創作援引貧窮藝術與具象音樂等運動,所製成的樂

器、載具、和服裝都具備實用性的功能,並將現實世

界中的各種廢料轉化成能夠發揮實際效能的物件,借

助音樂的運用和就地取材的途徑,超越語言的隔閡,

進入一個創意滿盈的空間。

鎖定在利用限地採集的素材,並結合升級再造

(upcycling)、自製文化、機器人、和替代能源等元素,馬托雷爾近年來在泰國、印度、印

尼、新加坡和澳洲等地進行的計畫,深入探究暫時性、公領域、便攜性與永續性的概念。

DYLAN MARTORELL

HAZRAT PROTOTYPES

OPENING SATURDAY 21 SEPTEMBER 4 - 6PM
EXHIBITION 21 SEPTEMBER - 12 OCTOBER 2013


Dylan Martorell’s latest exhibition, Hazrat Prototypes, has its roots in the principles of Hazrat Inayat Khan, an early 20th century Northern Indian Sufi mystic who founded the Sufi Order of the West in 1914.  According to Khan:

"Musicians have always held to the principle that modern scientists have rediscovered: that the ear is incapable of fully enjoying two sounds played or sung together, and that is why they enriched the melody to such an extent for the purpose of their meditation."

Khan’s principles promote a stripped back, utilitarian kind of music based on the concept of one voice or sound. In response, Martorell has created a series of single-voiced musical scores formed from improvised, collaborative movement. Accompanying the scores will be a series of new drawings created whilst listening to these sounds and documentary videos of Martorell’s recent projects in the Kochi Muziris Biennale, India and Chang Mai, Thailand.

Martorell weaves Khan’s minimalistic approach to music with notions of both natural and artificial decay, renewal and reuse. Repurposed and recycled objects form the material basis of Martorell’s chaotic aesthetic in striking contrast with the minimal backing-track to the exhibition. Throughout this permeates the organic form, underscoring and occasionally reclaiming the products of human intervention.

Martorell has exhibited and performed nationally and internationally. Solo exhibitions include Aguas de Marco, Gertrude Contemporary, Melbourne, 2011; Duppy Musique Povera, Object Gallery, Sydney, 2011; Duppy Housing, Utopian Slumps, 2010; Musique Povera, Heide Museum of Modern Art Project Space, 2010; Splintered Guilders, Lamington Drive, Melbourne, 2009; Stolon Tonals, Black and Blue, Sydney, 2009; Umbel Ballits, Craft Victoria, Melbourne, 2008; and Panter Cluster Rimbone, Utopian Slumps, Melbourne, 2007.
