ICA Live! Margaret Noble: Resonating Objects
San Diego-based artist Margaret Noble creates interdisciplinary work including sound, sculpture, installation and performance art. Her workexplores themes such as memory, dream, history, science fiction, identity and semiotics. For ICA Live! on Friday, May 1, Noble will present three sound sculptures with which visitors are invited to interact. To make the pieces, Noble used a filing box filled with index cards rigged with individual audio; an old leather suitcase with interior compartments that emit sound when uncovered; and a hand-activated music box - each of which Noble has fashioned into what she calls “resonating objects.” By cranking knobs, lifting lids, and pressing buttons, the objects will produce various sounds. “I use found objects, construct new objects and design sounds to activate spaces, reference history and pose questions about perception,” says Noble.
