Part of the New York Electronic Art Festival 2019, Russian Sound Art Showcase (RSAS) is a standardized exhibition of multi-channel works of Russian sound artists, who are currently active in scene of mainly Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. Most of them are centered around the SoundArtist.ru ( aka SA)) ) community. The first version of RSAS was shown in 2015 at Ars Electronica festival in Linz Austria. It became the first ever collective exhibition of Russian sound artists abroad. The RSAS NY – is the second one.

Entitled “ZVUKI VZLOMA” (eng. “The Sound of Hack”). On the first stages of it’s forming – the SA))-community had a distinctive attraction to the aesthetic of “d-i-y” and “music hacking”. So historically, a lot of young Russian sound artist’s practice was derived from this approach. From pirated software to self-developed interfaces and instruments then evolutionary raised into interactive installations and more. Including educational activities, stimulating next generations to learn coding and electronics. You will listen to the works of artists, who started their way more than 20 years ago, and were a vital part of Theremin Center for Electroacoustic Music of Moscow State Conservatory, as well as works of the last generation of Russian sound explorers, who has just graduated from the course at Moscow Sound Art Studio (SA))_studio).

The topic of the show is also a satire on a narrative of Russian hacking and meddling with American technical and social systems. Come to the space of RSAS and let yourself be hacked with sound. We mean it.

Open to the public June 1 - 9, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11am - 5pm.
