Interval #1 - Progress Barks. Rubén Grilo and Robert M. Ochshorn

Progress Barks (2022) by Rubén Grilo and Robert M. Ochshorn is an exhibition installation linked to the series of performances Interval #1 where the turn tightens, a cowbell, with Noela Covelo Velasco.

where the turn tightens, a cowbell is a programme dedicated to practices related to sound. It traverses everything that happens between speaker, place and body: it involves every part and questions for whom these structures we call sound systems serve and where they are going.

In the room on the ground floor of the centre, a technical configuration has been installed. The abrupt sounds that can be heard come from the piece by Rubén Grilo and Robert M. Ochshorn, Progress Barks, a system of speakers that questions what a machine does when it is taught to bark.

Progress Barks has been produced by Lo Pati – Centre d’Art Terres de l’Ebre, Amposta
