Lara Kohl
Lara Kohl is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice incorporates sound, video, film, sculpture, installation, and writing in various combinations. Her work addresses one's relationship to structures of power—be they political, institutional, or social. Recent projects have focused on the voice and the agency of an individual in the face of globalization and dominant cultural practices. She received her BA from Barnard College, her MFA in Time Based Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and her MA in Performance Studies from New York University. Currently she teaches in the Visual Art department at SUNY College at Old Westbury.
Rock Map
“I have created a sound map of a Rock n' Roll Camp for Girls (RRCG) that takes place each summer in Portland, Oregon. This is not a Star Search or American Idol training ground, but instead an inspired, DIY, homegrown affair staffed by volunteers from local bands and women's studies departments. It is a place where girls age 8-18 learn, not only music, but self-defense, zine-making, and the history of women in music. It is also one of the rare occasions where girls are encouraged to be loud. I spent the duration of the camp recording snippets of sound of many kinds—ambient, spoken, sung, instrumental, rehearsed, unrehearsed, live, pre-recorded, incidental... with the intention of editing together a sonic document of the event.” — Lara Kohl.
For alectricity 01, Rock Map is presented as a short excerpt from the whole piece.
