– ‘Every Heart Vibrates to That Iron String’: presentation + live performance by anGie seah, resident artist at The Unifiedfield AIR Programme in Granada. Angie will present her research during her residency: a work in progress of understanding ‘Duende’’, making drawings as processes and sound sketches, field trips and recordings.

As part of her residency programme, anGie seah will also conduct a free workshop on the 25th of July * [workshop is full]. For Angie, the human voice is poetry and it expresses the emotional truth of the self. This workshop aims to let participants find the authenticity of their “voice”.

ARTIST STATEMENT

anGie seah’s multidisciplinary practise explores human nature in relation to the social environment, through encounters with the ephemeral realm of sound. Her work playfully traverses the domains of drawing, sculpture, performance and installation, giving form to the shapeless aural experience. anGie’s intense and emotive performances evoke the complexities of the human psyche, breaking out of the limitations of spoken language in search of authentic expression and primal beauty; the unrestrained voice begins to embody a language with its own sacred vocabulary, synthesising new meanings, contexts and associations through its raw articulation. Spontaneity is a key artistic strategy for anGie, allowing chance and intuition to navigate a range of shifting emotional resonances and psychological states.
