Mono 31: France Jobin

12 February 2019
7–9:30pm

The IMA and Room40 present Mono 31 with France Jobin and special guests Robert Crouch and Yann Novak.

Jobin will present Intrication, a work inspired by quantum entanglement, seeking to discover the relationship between sound and observing sound. Jobin is a sound and installation artist, composer, and curator based in Montreal. Her work has been described as sound sculpture, fusing musical and visual elements to create experiential environments where analogue and digital intersect. She often draws inspiration from architecture and her work has been staged in unconventional spaces and at festivals across Canada, the US, South America, South Africa, Europe, and Japan.

Robert Crouch’s work encompasses sound, performance, and technology. His work can be understood as a conversation between tonality, context, history, and subjectivities. Los Angeles–based artist and composer Yann Novak explores how intangible materials—sound and light—can act as catalysts to focus our awareness on felt experience.

Mono is the IMA’s longstanding program of experimental sound curated by Lawrence English of Room40. Experience the expansive world of sonic experimentation and boundary-pushing performance in Brisbane/Meanjin through an integration of diverse sound materials and practices.
