Concert by Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola
08.06.2023
Starting at 18.30

Microtonal Music Studios presents Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola’s performance, developed in Helsinki during her residency.

“Breath Accumulation / Archetypes in Dissolution”

This performance combines loops of sound, text and moving image. The artist will compose sound live for 3 of her silent films, projected for the first time. Using a hydrophone, a moog synthesizer and voice, sound and image merge in loops and heaps of archives, history, memory and ecology moving in a dynamic dialogue where meaning is applied, erased and rewritten.

Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola (Mexico City, 1987) is an interdisciplinary artist, poet and editor working with language in a variety of ways. She exhibits and performs in multiple media, fusing her poetic practice with sound, film, drawing and installation to explore the materiality of language, archive, memory, and the ecology of sound. Her work also explores somatic and improvisatory aspects of performance as a collective practice. Her art & poetry book The Telaraña Circuit (Tender Buttons Press) was recently published, and since 2013 she co-edits diSONARE, an experimental press from Mexico City.

She has exhibited & performed at Vernacular Institute (Mexico City); Ex-Teresa Arte Actual (Mexico City); Pequod Co. (Mexico City); Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico City); The Poetry Project (NYC); Microscope Gallery (NYC); among others.

Microtonal Music Studios and Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola’s residency in Helsinki is supported by Saastamoinen Foundation, Kone Foundation, and Myymälä2 gallery.
