Turning attention to the inner dimensions, this performative lecture follows the echoic reverberations spanning across personal lives. Extending from a close reading of Clarice Lispector’s enigmatic work Aqua Viva, Brandon LaBelle carefully attends to his own memories, particularly tracing the story of his great-grandmother and how her experiences as an illiterate immigrant becomes emblematic of a greater social history. Silent Noises moves between the personal and the historical, all the while mobilizing the figure of X as a poetic force of the unnamable. X is not simply a letter or symbol, instead it emerges as a trickster, a turbulence and a connecting thread, animating the disturbed ecologies at the center of contemporary life. By way of following X, LaBelle provides a meditation on states of rupture that are perennially endured, becoming a structure to how material, social journeys are made.
Brandon LaBelle is an artist, writer, theorist, and artistic director of The Listening Biennial and Academy. His work focuses on questions of agency, community, pirate culture, and poetics, which results in a range of collaborative and extra-institutional initiatives, including Communities in Movement (2019-23), Oficina de Autonomia (2017-), The Living School (with South London Gallery, 2014-16), The Imaginary Republic (2014-19), Dirty Ear Forum (2013-22), Surface Tension (2003-2008), and Beyond Music Sound Festival (1998-2002).
