Catching Up in the Archive is a major exhibition by artist Mariana Lanari showcasing the evolving infrastructure of de Appel Archive. Displaying more than 16 000 objects in de Appel’s Aula and launching an interactive online environment, Catching Up in the Archive stages unprecedented activations, public gatherings, ear-opening encounters, and ‘moving’ situations with special guests and curious passers-by.

As a first intervention Loma Doom was asked to research the audio-archive. Performed on April 10th 2022 for a live audience, the result is uploaded here: a fragmented collage of the work and lectures of female artists that have collaborated with De Appel throughout its history. 

Catching Up In The Audio Archive features work by Barbara Kruger, Cosima von Bremen, Moniek Toebosch, Ann Bean and the Box Gamelan Ensemble, Gina Pane and Marina Abramovic.

Catching Up in the Archive will run until May 29 and is open to the public. For more info visit: new.deappel.nl

of language within its multi faceted forms / words-based free associations / vocal improvisation on textual content either written by me either found / multilingual imaginative universe diverse in idioms, gestures and glossolalias / voicescaping /of monologues & free flux of consciousness / most of my recordings are taken in the very moment — rarely i rehearse something before recording process.

besides a visual arts and writing practice, i’ve started making vocal recordings around 2014 as a way to explore meditative processes, altered states and self-healing methods. 

calling it music would reduce my making to that very organised form which is not, therefore I'd rather prefer to call it sound in its broadest and most amplified sense. 

poetry, free improvisation, polyvocalities, both analog and/or softsynths, acoustic guitar, a broken off-key violin or whatever could be object of sound.
