In 2019, ODD continues the collaboration with Prague-based residency space MeetFactory, started in 2018. In the first stage, ODD members Cosmina Moroșan (poet, performer) and Anticorp Solar (visual artist, beat/ noise maker) will collaborate on a performance gravitating around Gilbert Simondon’s pioneering concepts in relation to the ethics of technology. This hybrid work, that features sound interventions, will take place within the context of an exhibition with the working title “Found Friends”. The duo will also perform under the moniker Autem, an experimental electronic music/ poetry project.
Biographies
Cosmina Moroșan
Cosmina Moroșan, poet, performer. She worked on topics such as 60s and 70s anti-psychiatry movements or the contamination between contemporary theoretical discourses and other directions of verbalising the world (as those of the saints). She envisages some workshops in psychiatric institutions around the idea of “thinking as an art”. Currently, she is interested in performative immersions around concepts as technological object, language and/or mysticism – and beyond. Since February 2018, she collaborates with Anticorp Solar in Autem (a music/poetry duo), among other projects.
Anticorp Solar
Anticorp Solar is a visual artist, noise/beatmaker from Bucharest. His visual practice focuses on a ludic, spiritually and emotionally driven approach to “the space” in which objects, words and phenomena act as living characters. The transposed narratives are used as means of reflection on systems of belief and concepts such as transcendence, autonomy, determinism and the relation between reality and fiction. As a beatmaker/soundartist he is focused on bringing together extreme music and conceptual sound, working with a variety of samples to create quirky, odd-time polyrhythmic beats layered with noises. Currently he is also interested in performance & lecture hybrids, involving visual and sound art interventions, covering object affinity and language themes.
