Made in Los Angeles 2020: The Replica exhibited at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, 2020. Inspired by the techno warehouse music of Los Angeles, Jacqueline Kimmy Gurk has created a localized piece that plays with the embodiment of sound.
The Into/Loving/Against/Lost in the Loop installation at the ICA LA Project Room (through May 14) takes its voice from the gallery around drummer and artist Milford Graves, who died in 2021. This includes sounds made by Graves for the ICA show, in addition to any interaction with visitors. You can scream in the galleries, for example, and it picks up when Kiomi Gorky's sound equipment is placed in the next room.
These sounds are filtered with SuperCollider software, which the artist collaborated with Los Angeles-based DJ and producer Ezra Rubin, also known as Kingdom. Kingdon and Kiomi Gork co-founded Rhythmic Beat.
Kiyomi Gork's installation invites you to walk through a maze of transparent vinyl curtains hanging from fibers. As felt and wool surround the structure, sound still flows between the Graves and Kiyomi Gorka galleries, creating a unique sonic experience.
During the exhibition, curator Carolyn Eileen Liu said, “You really challenge the perception of what you hear. Is this what you just heard at outdoor shows or is it distorted?
Although Kiomi Gorky's practice has explored how sound affects body movement, this is the first time the artist has experimented with rhythms.
"Rhythm and tone capture a space," said Kiomi Gor. “When you have a rhythm, your body automatically goes with it. That is a great strength."

Going to Kiomi Gorka's installation is a choreographic experience and a more philosophical situation. As in the techno warehouses of Los Angeles, the physical impulse of the created rhythm can pull the body. However, visitors can choose where and how to navigate the property if they want to experience it.
"You can go left or right, forward or around the corner," explains Kiomi Gor. “One of the fun things is that the maze is transparent. You can see everywhere, but you are surrounded by these clear plastic curtains. So sound is investigated. The sound changes when you turn a corner; goes or departs from the sound. .
The structure of the labyrinth, unlike a labyrinth with a certain path, allows individual choice and gives a sense of freedom to those who pass through it. While materials absorb a certain amount of sound, the gap between sounds can affect how a person processes that sound.
"I set things up on purpose so that when you get close to something you can hear snippets of sound and play that way," said Kiomi Gor.
Unlike the club, Kiyomi Gork and Kingdom's Beat can be heard, but what is heard inside the establishment varies greatly depending on where you visit. As Graves' videos evolve in the following galleries, different voices will emerge. Additionally, showrunner Graves will continue to create their own voice tracks.
Kiomi Gorka's work is "very well positioned [in the field] to isolate people and engage in this collective experience," Liu said. There is no clear answer. [Experiment] always and/or. "
Finally, like a feedback loop, Kiomi Gork raises the first questions about how we as individuals are affected by our environment.
