Listening with Artists - This is the Pilot with Lawrence Abu Hamdan
play

06/10/22 • 57 min

Turner-Prize winning artist and Private Ear, Lawrence Abu Hamdan is known for the explosive revelations that emerge from his investigations with sound. Presenting us with sonic images that reveal “dirty evidence” –Abu Hamdan unspools that which is buried or dormant. Perhaps most well-known for giving voice to marginalised figures through performance, theatre, and installation, this Private Ear, some may be surprised to know, also boasts a sense of humour.

In the Pilot episode of artPost21’s flagship podcast: Listening with Artists, Kholeif invites the artist to think back to the Pre-Borat mankini days, when Spandex was still considered fashionable attire for a rock-star to be. Together, they discuss the politics of language, and the learned act of code-switching.
