ICA is closed from the 30 May – 3 June inclusive.
J. G. Biberkopf (Gediminas Žygus) releases album The Seed, The Sinkhole, The Flower, and The Flare in May 2024 via Subtext Recordings. For its premiere live performance, the record is reimagined as a ghost story about secrecy, presented using d&b audiotechnik’s 360° Soundscape system at the ICA.
The Seed, The Sinkhole, The Flower and The Flare was recorded over four years in settings of borrowed domestic spaces; from sublets to transitory studios. It captures the struggle to maintain a sense of identity amidst external and internal turmoil, touching on subjects of dissociation, embodiment, grief, and trance. Delving deep into the visceral, the release interlaces intimate field recordings, experimental synthesizer techniques and poetic writing. It engages with eroticism, exploring sensuality and sexuality beyond language, the human and the physical.
Elements of the album and performance were produced as part of collaborative work with Holly Childs, Yen Chun Lin and Metahaven, as well as during residencies at 0xSalon (Berlin) and Palais De Tokyo (Paris).
The event will be opened by a performative reading from Billy Morgan.
