Steve Roden & Brandon Labelle: “Water Messiah” (The House Was Quiet and the World Was Calm, Meme 1999)

I had almost forgotten about this old favorite... beautiful resonant gonging from this understated collaboration between multidisciplinary artists Roden and Labelle on the Atsushi Sasaki’s Meme label, a late 90s home to a variety of new experimental artists at the time, including Richard Chartier, Stilluppsteypa, Pimmon, Kevin Drumm, John Hudak and more.

I have been focusing on the theme of invisibility through a series of seminars first initiated in 2011 at the Art Academy in Bergen, Norway. Through this research, I have been interested in identifying invisibility as a complex and paradoxical phenomenon – naming it, or even pointing at it, is to enter this paradox, thus providing an extremely unique basis for cultural expressions that  query or negotiate the conditions of appearance. Bringing together a range of thinkers and practitioners, the seminar has addressed  themes such as the  night, negativity, the disappeared, erasure, silence, infrastructure, and camouflage. In this essay, I intend to unpack some of my main reflections  and to consider invisibility in relation to the theme of borderlines. Focusing on invisibility, however, requires an initial engagement with the issues of visualization and appearance. As the negative of visibility, the invisible is a type of blind spot whose contours are best glimpsed by way of a critical inquiry into visualization and its intimate connection.
