Iván Rivelli
Ground Acoustics. Intermediate Affects

19.11.24 13.12.24

Iván Rivelli (El Bolsón, Río Negro) is an artist curious about the sounds produced in environments, their symbolic relationships, and recording methodologies. Present at ´ace thanks to the Semillero 2024 grants, in collaboration with the Williams Foundation, Iván is interested in phonographic practices, field recording and listening processes that take place in specific places.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Digital media are present in all my artistic production, with a predominance of sound over other media. In some cases the sound piece recovers its own sense, but in most of the works it is the materialization of a broader process such as a poetic action, a drift or an investigation. Some features present in my production are: the sound identities of the territory, listening, phonographic practice, soundscaping, cartographic processes, space/time representations. These features are materialized in productions such as: installations, research projects, audiovisuals, sound pieces, fanzines, digital applications, site specific, etc.

On December 11th, 2024, we bid farewell to the year with an ´aceNITE in which we were able to learn about the processes of the residents from November-December, share delicacies and toast to the closing of the year and the beginning of a new one. Along with our guests, the local public came to the ´ace studio to talk with the residents and share a night of rich and nutritious conversations.

Iván Rivelli (El Bolsón, Argentina) occupied The Tower studio with his multichannel sound installation Acoustics of the Ground. Intermediate affectations. There, Iván, a Production Residency fellow thanks to the Semillero 2024 Grant (in collaboration with the Williams Foundation), shared a sound installation with 4 listening stations and a map of the routes that the artist made with his geophone to record the underground sounds of the City of Buenos Aires.

Solin Yoon (South Korea) inaugurated his installation at the Sala Políglota. Present at ´ace thanks to the agreement between the Foundation and ARKO—Arts Council Korea, the artist presented an installation composed of a video and photographs taken during her visit to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego.

Seungyoun Lee (South Korea, also present thanks to the agreement that the Foundation maintains with ARKO—Arts Council Korea), installed in the Dialogue Space of the ´ace studio the result of the 4 weeks that the artist spent producing her work in our printmaking workshop. There, she created a new series of prints on which she made hand drawings to expand the engaved images.

Natalie Bui (USA) inaugurated her mural painting on the terrace of the ´ace studio, where her work will coexist along with the rest of the mural pieces resulting from the Palimpsest Project—Mural Painting Residency.

Ground Acoustics. Intermediate Affects.
Iván Rivelli

11.12.24

What are the possible narratives from an intermediate listening? What are the exchange relations between what happens above and below the city?

This project is about the process of exploring the sounds of the ground of Buenos Aires from practices of collection and recording. I propose to listen to the soils without the will of interpretation, but rather as a way of particular attention and experimentation of possible meanings. The soil as an interface, as a membrane that regulates and tensions the acoustic relations and the exchange of flows. It is a point of passage and reciprocity.

The materials and records collected in the process of this inquiry are arranged in the space following an organization based on intuitions and affectations. There, coexist elements of expertise and classifications mediated by relations of proximity with materials, sounds, references and specific places in the city.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
