Direttore del CRISAP (Creative Research Into Sound Arts Practice) e docente alla University of the Arts di Londra. Ha pubblicato il libro Autumn Leaves: Sound and Environment in Artistic Practice. L’esplorazione del suono in ambito artistico gli ha consentito di partecipare ad esposizioni in gallerie,performance ed elaborare cd. Nell’estate del 2009 ha curato lo show SoundEscapes a Londra e pubblicato l’album Some memories of Bamboo. La qualità estetica dell'opera rivela l’interesse di Angus sui i modi attraverso i quali noi uomini abitiamo i nostri paesaggi, tema sempre presente nei suoi scritti creativi, nel suo sguardo fotografico e nel suo lavoro sonoro. Progetti quali 51°32'6.954” N / 0°00'47.0808 W, Some memories of Bamboo o Sondagsmaler, richiedono tempo trascorso entro i confini di una ristretta area geografica. L’atto dell’ascolto diventa cruciale per comprendere un territorio ed i cambiamenti che in esso si verificano.
As the Spring has blossomed in Campania, each visit to San Cipriano Picentino has welcomed me with more green and with deeper green. The grass, trees and shrubs, the barley in the fields, all of these have taken on a verdant hue that shines with new life. The lengthening days and the increasingly bright light [...]
Since 2008, I’ve been making a series of simple little works involving 25mm metal badges. The badges come in a series of two, with one as “I ‘Heart’ Silence” and the other “I ‘Hate’ Silence”, with the ‘heart’ and ‘hate’ delivered through playing card symbols: hearts, of course, for ‘heart’ and – arbitrarily – clubs [...]
As sunlight hits the earth, it converts solar energy into heat in a ratio that depends on the directness of the beam of light. At the poles, which are struck in a more oblique fashion, there is less heat produced and as a consequence they are colder than at the equator where light impact is [...]
My relationship to San Cipriano Picentino is a relationship of distance; a distance that is symbolic, linguistic and geographical. Before the exhibition opens on June 30th, I will have spent no more than 200 waking hours in the village, in other frazioni or in the mountains and valleys beyond. These 200 hours will have been [...]
I have always liked maps. To me, in their very diversity, they somehow mix the solemn and the more light-hearted, dry abstraction with something more fleshy; often they radiate a sense of the world as fixed and framed but, by turning the paper upside down, drawing on it or substituting the more formal map for [...]
Silence, we have known for a while now, is something of an impossibility. “In Space No One Can Hear You Scream” was the tagline on the English posters for the 1979 film Alien. As well as evoking the creeping horror lying in wait for the unsuspecting astronauts far from any rescue, this inscription on the [...]
Leaving the car behind, we walk through the village of Sieti. The balance of the architecture here seems tilted more towards older forms than in San Cipriano, with much of the recent work managed as renovations of centuries old properties rather than as new buildings. A steep cobbled street lifts us up between two old [...]
Looking past the shutters and the panes of glass, across the short stretch of balcony and between the railings, I could see the trees being turned left and right, forward and backwards in the same wind that greeted me when the plane door swung open at Napoli Airport. A relatively gentle wind but still an [...]
San Cipriano Picentino laid itself out in the March morning. Behind me a steep path rose between chestnut and olive trees until these cultivated plots thinned out and the limestone mountains took back their landscape. Looking down from the low white wall that sweeps around the Sant’Eustachio church, something was revealed; beginning in the fits [...]
