  • Susan Hiller Channels
    CENTRE D’ART CONTEMPORAIN LA SYNAGOGUE DE DELME Press Kit SUSAN HILLER CHANNELS EXHIBITION 12.06.2013 - 29.09.2013 PREVIEW WITH THE ARTIST SUNDAY 9 JUNE, 3PM SUSAN HILLER CHANNELS For the entire summer, the Synagogue de Delme Contemporary Art Centre is pleased to present a solo exhibition of work by Susan Hiller. An American artist who has lived in London since 1969, Hiller has been one of the most influential artists on the British scene for forty years. Channels was originally produced by Matt’s Gallery in London, and is presented in Delme in a French version recorded for the occasion by the Contemporary Art Centre. Channels is a vast wall of colour and sound constructed from over one hundred analogue televisions, in which blue and grey screens, disembodied voices and crackling white noise are formed into an orchestrated collage of collected testimony on near death experiences. The work unfolds and reveals itself gently and by increments: visitors sit and watch the blank screens expectantly as a ballet of subtle colour modulations and shifts occur; then, suddenly, a single voice speaks out, puncturing the white noise with bright clarity. That voice is joined by others, which, rising together form a babble of humanity. The visitor strives to hear individual strands or narratives emanating from the now pulsating screens; the voices ebb and flow, allowing the singular stories of near death, gathered over many years and from all corners of the globe, to address us clearly. These multiple anonymous descriptions contain recurring motifs delivered in clear unemotional tones: brightening lights, sudden warmth, hovering over ones own body, the loss of feelings of pain or fear, and encounters with either strangers or long-dead family members who explain it’s not yet their time to die, just before they regain consciousness.

  • Commissioned Artwork by Susan Hiller Debuts at Pérez Art Museum Miami October 14, 2016 on Display Through June 4, the London-Ba
    Commissioned Artwork by Susan Hiller Debuts at Pérez Art Museum Miami October 14, 2016 On display through June 4, the London-based artist’s immersive work examines the profound power of language. MIAMI —October 11, 2016 —On October 14, Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) will debut Lost and Found, a newly commissioned video artwork by the London-based artist Susan Hiller. Widely recognized as an influential pioneer of video and multimedia installation, Hiller combines the archival tendencies of conceptual art with an emphasis on psychologically charged subjects, from war memorials to paranormal phenomena. Lost and Found is an immersive video installation that features an audio collage of voices speaking in 23 different languages, including Aramaic, Comanche, Livonian and other extinct or endangered idioms. Many of the anecdotes, songs, arguments, memories, and conversations that the voices relay revolve around the theme of language itself. Translations of these utterances appear in the form of subtitles, which provide an entry point into the narrators’ diverse cultural circumstances. A constantly shifting oscilloscopic line gives visual form to the work’s soundtrack, suggesting the poignant idea that individuals separated by time, geography, and worldview remain linked by the physical experience of sound as it resonates through the human body during verbal communication. “Susan Hiller’s practice has pushed the boundaries of multimedia art for decades, while uncovering specific histories of knowledge,” says PAMM Curator René Morales. “Lost and Found uses language to expose a human continuum across disparate cultures and timespans.” By linking our contemporary moment to numerous social histories, Lost and Found fits within the mission of PAMM, a museum that forges connections between different cultures, nationalities, and forms of creative expression.

  • Susan Hiller Reactivates Lost Languages at Prefix
    For Immediate Release (September 9, 2011) SUSAN HILLER REACTIVATES LOST LANGUAGES AT PREFIX (Toronto) – Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art is proud to present the Canadian premiere of the installation The Last Silent Movie by legendary conceptual artist Susan Hiller. Composed of a video projection and a series of etchings, this installation is based upon archival recordings of some of the last remaining speakers of twenty-five extinct or endangered languages. The result is both a memorial to and a protest against irredeemable loss. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, September 22 from 7 to 10 PM at Prefix, located at 401 Richmond Street West, Suite 124, Toronto. The exhibition continues until November 26, 2011. Prefix is open from Wednesday to Saturday, 12 to 5 PM, and by appointment. Admission is free. Prefix will also be open on Saturday, October 1 from 7 PM until sunrise for Nuit Blanche. For the video component of The Last Silent Movie (2007), the artist has unearthed a series of vocal recordings from a wide range of audio archives and reactivated them in a setting reminiscent of an early movie house. Relaying stories, recalling memories, occasionally singing, these native tongues are variegated and intriguing. They include K’ora from South Africa, recorded in 1938 by its last speaker; Manx from the Isle of Man, captured in 1948 and now extinct; and Blackfoot from North America, recorded in the 1990s and today seriously endangered. A simple text supplements the recording with basic information – the name of the language, where it was used, when and by whom it was recorded and, if known, the speaker’s name.

  • Susan Hiller
    Susan Hiller 13 November 2015 – 9 January 2016 27 & 52 Bell Street, London In her debut exhibition at Lisson Gallery, Susan Hiller will present a number of recently discovered early pieces as well as celebrated classics and new works made this year. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in London since her Tate retrospective of 2011. A widely influential artist, Hiller has spent the past six decades questioning belief systems and the production of meaning. Her strategies and methodologies involve the examination of real and imagined phenomena, probing the unseen and the unheard in order to create art that evokes absences, memories and ghosts. Hiller has described her work as “a kind of archaeological investigation, uncovering something to make a different kind of sense of it” and “concentrating on what is unspoken, unacknowledged, unexplained and overlooked.” Her art has repeatedly been ground- breaking in its diversity of materials and forms, combining an astonishing range of media in works that join sight with sound, primitive desires with sophisticated technology and art with popular culture. Occupying both gallery locations on Bell Street, the exhibition loosely groups Hiller’s practice into four interwoven and on-going themes: transformation, the unconscious, belief systems and the role of the artist as collector and curator. Rare pieces from the `70s and `80s articulate the role of transformation in art: Painting Blocks (1970–84), made by cutting and re-assembling her paintings to form sculptural objects labelled with the dates and dimensions of their original, and Another (1986), a small glass 'relic' filled with the ashes of the artist's burnt paintings.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Th e terrains of artistic practice and of art history are structured in and struc- turing of gendered power relations.1 Nearly 30 years aft er the publication of Griselda Pollock ’ s groundbreaking feminist art-historical polemic Vision and Diff erence in 1988, there remains a signifi cant lack of close analysis of the roles played by women artists in the histories and practices that characterise surrealism and modernism. A survey of the fl agship contemporary journal Modernism/Modernity reveals quickly the scarcity of articles focusing specifi cally on identifying, exploring, and theorising the intersections – the overlaps and touching points, interpenetra- tions and connections – between the two historical, theoretical, and aesthetic categories, an area of intellectual history which consequently exists as a con- tested fi eld. Th e critically neglected presence of women artists working within this con- tested fi eld further complicates matters. Constantly ‘rediscovered’, re-installed, or re-placed within each new generation ’ s reconceptualisations of modern- ism and surrealism, the woman artist occupies a permanently impermanent position, haunting the discourse at its margins, sometimes clear and visible, sometimes shaded out, occluded by reaction and repression. Th e work of the woman artist in modernism and surrealism comes (like that of the woman Dadaist, as Amelia Jones has argued) to resist the ‘normalizing’ and com- modifying narratives of art-historical recuperation. 2 ‘Intersections’ suggests both crossings and overlaps, and the concept of intersectionality or an accom- modating awareness of the inseparability of oppressive systems in their impact on socially constituted identities – ‘the distinct and frequently confl icting dynamics that shaped the lived experience of subjects in these social locations’, as Leslie McCall puts it.
