"field recording"


Opening: Friday, January 13, 2012, 6-9 pm

Duration: January 13 - February, 25 2012

field recording by Nadine Fecht involves the presentation of a lightroom.

Just as the process of photographic exposure requires a darkroom to control the incidence of right, this lightroom clearly needs overexposure to show structures that would otherwise remain invisible.

Set against the background of a completely white room, there are small and large-format drawings which act as graphical reference points, creating a field where individual details add up to new meanings and to a new context in a process that appears like disorientation. The static design of the room and the two-dimensional fields of the drawings dissolve into vibration and unrest. This continuous restlessness covers both content and form.

The title of the exhibition refers to the idea of a field as an entity that can be described as such and which can therefore be given a mentally fixed form while nevertheless being in motion. By nature, such fields are electrical, magnetic, acoustic and indeed psychological and social. At the same time, the concept of drawing has been given a wider definition in order to satisfy the requirements of a conceptual and installational procedure. In the interaction and interplay between a placeholder and the placement of an item, both our glances and body movement acquire a certain rhythmic quality. This continues in each of the drawings. In this illusory ensemble of the overall field and a specific structure all orientation remains vague and provisional.

Where the level of detail is concerned, field recording consists of numerous small and large-format drawings on paper (Echo, Radio Horizon, Writing 1, Writing 2 and Layer), two murals (untitled) and a vinyl record (53 Beginnings). The latter is furthest away from the traditional understanding of a drawing. In the centre of the exhibition room a record player has been set up for listening through a headset, with 53 beginnings of records, starting with the touchdown of the stylus and continuing with the subsequent crackling of the first groove of each record. The repeated touchdown of the stylus and the peculiar subsequent noise create an atmosphere of unrest that speaks of a deep inner field of personal expectations which, ultimately, serves as the starting point for any discovery of the world around us.
