In 2018 Snehta Residency presented the group show Can you hear the sirens moan with Anat Propper Goldenberg, to kosie and Peter Max Lawrence, curated by Ioanna Gerakidi. The exhibition was accompanied by a series of performances and readings by the artists.
Can you hear the sirens moan was a group show looking with and thinking across intersectionality as a means for reaching otherness, for transforming, altering, acting and interacting with our surroundings. It was an exposition of what resides, or is being considered as, unheard, unintelligible, a-rhythmic. It was a collection of traces and remnants of various processes of labour, of reminiscences often neglected, dismissed, stigmatised.
The exhibition aimed to explore the voice of these inherent qualities of the artwork, on forming through their time and space, when the works are in a fragile state of becoming. It intended to disrupt the syntaxes and automations of the art system through rejecting the finalised, fixated form. The artworks as concrete (non)-objects, theses and systems, were being replaced by a composition of materials, liquids, words, failures and experiments.
*the title is borrowed from “Don’t Let It Bring You Down”, a song by Neil Young.
The exhibition was accompanied by a series of performances and readings by the artists.
