On April 9th, bb15 will host a performative presentation by ‚Sounds like a Book‘ – a self-publishing and sound art platform, in collaboration with the Time-Based Media department of Kunstuniversität Linz.
Following a day-long workshop, the evening event, which is open to the public, will offer a glimpse into the residency’s playful and experimental structure and approach, re-imagining and expanding the meaning of the books and sounds in performative ways.
The event will feature artist books and sound pieces by the following artists: Georgiana Cojocaru, Janine Jop, Laure Catugier, Lena Ciobanu, Lisa Marie Schmitt, Lucian Barbu, Irina Motroc, and Ruxandra Nițescu. Additionally, students from the Time-Based Media department will present their interventions and engagements with the books and sounds of the latest edition of the residency entitled ‚Sounds like a Book: (S)pace‘.

Sounds like a Book is a book-making and self-publishing platform that addresses those interested in the book as a medium of artistic expression. As the chosen name suggests, SLB focuses on the visual transmission, conversion, and representation of the sound.
Since 2019, Sounds Like a Book has taken the form of a residency program, hosted at Casa Albastră in Șona, Romania. The latest edition, Sounds Like a Book: (S)pace, focused on various bodily perspectives and rhythms to explore the network of body-space-sound as it unfolds in the process of listening.
