mollin+voegelin

Since 2008 Salomé Voegelin and David Mollin have developed a collaborative practice with words and sounds. Their work has a conceptual basis, establishing through texts, voices, sounds and images, conversations and reconfigurations of relationships and realities. Their artistic engagement focuses on invisible connections, transient behaviour and unseen rituals. It re-considers socio-political, architectural and aesthetic actualities through the possibilities of  an ephemeral sound, whose invisible mobility invites a semantic inhabiting of words and brings a participatory engagement to their installative and performance based works.

Their collaborative composition Barry Echo was produced for Magazine 4, Bregenz Kunstverein in Austria 2008, and is part of the ‘Playing with Words’ book and CD Compilation edited by Cathy Lane (http://www.gruenrekorder.de/?page_id=1885).

Their work Ed Ruscha was presented as part of Sound Reason Festival in Delhi, India 2013,

In 2014 Voegelin and Mollin have worked on Dustcatcher, a 3 minute sound work as album track for The Ear is a Brain Compendium by Liquid Architecture, Melbourne Australia (http://www.pozible.com/project/182651)

and a text sound piece for Writing Sound 2: Writing, Listening, Performing at Lydgalleriet in Bergen, Norway in November/December last year (http://www.lydgalleriet.no/?page_id=1170).
