Félix Blume: Dream's Cricket
sound installation, workshop
September 30 - October 31, 2021
sound gallery IGLOO
Komensky Street No. 10
Jihlava
Curator: Miloš Vojtěchovský
A sound installation where each "speaker-cricket" is producing its own unique singing. While we sleep, crickets sing along to our slumber. Since we often listen to them in chorus, as part of the project "Los grillos del sueňo," we decided to look for the singularity in each cricket. During a workshop, every kid raised a couple of crickets and recorded the male?s singing at night. The short film that accompanies the installation has its own story: in response to inevitable insect extinction, a group of scientists developed a species of electronic crickets so that even after they?re gone, crickets can continue to make music while we dream."

Maria Komarova creates new landscapes, using found objects and DIY electroacoustic tools, where in spontaneous interactive way take everyday objects on new meanings and forms: inanimate things are transformed into Beings with specific qualities and characters. They are inhabiting their environment with their tinny movements and sounds: rustling, crunching, whistling, cracking, hissing, scratching. The seemingly simplicity and repetitive processes of those temporary soundscapes invite the listener to move to the imaginative realms of menthol buzzers, one-eyed sirens, lemon tadpoles, ginger tigers, plastic beetles and other peculiar insects.

Born on the same day of the same year, they were inseparable, and yet in their work they were able to be individual. This exhibition presents them to us in a slightly different form than we know them. At the same time, four authors will present their works in a more intimate form at the exhibition. For some, the meeting with Jitka and Květa was an initiation for their work, for others it was a deep friendship, and one was their companion and a lifelong admirer.
