In this hour long virtual workshop, sound and visual artist Caroline Partamian will invite participants of all ages to explore their connections with linear and spatial sound in an effort to understand that sound is something beyond just what we hear but a reflection of who we are.

Through listening and drawing exercises, we will explore how the same sound can be interpreted so distinctly by each individual. Joining via your phone is encouraged so that you may feel free to walk around or be outside. Take a walk to a place you love, bring a drawing utensil and a pad of paper, or a traveling watercolor kit, or whatever makes sense to you to draw with on the go.

The workshop will result in a collective quadryptic risograph print arranged by the artist that combines an element of everyone’s drawings into one space.

About the Instructor:

Caroline Partamian is a sound and visual artist. Her work is influenced by her training in dance as she integrates the concept of abreaction into her work – the extraction of dormant memory stored within a muscle, resurfaced through physical movement, of which an individual was previously unaware; these memories can take many forms – traumatic, erotic, comforting, etc. By focusing on the process rather than the anticipated result, her work encourages what can be revealed when one becomes conscious of their kinetic movement in the process of creation. Her work has taken on the form of compositions, graphic notations, sound environments, books, video, and more. She has shown work at BoxoPROJECTS, Marfa Open, Wassaic Project, Otion Front, Flux Factory, Anthology Film Archives, Babycastles, Compound Yucca Valley, and more. She also runs a small publishing press, Weird Babes, in the form of zines and prints featuring artists' and her own works-in-progress and experiments, and is the co-founder of Other Desert Radio in the California high desert.
