AURA SATZ

b. 1974, Spain
Aura Satz Biography

Aura Satz’s work encompasses film, sound, performance, and sculpture. Works are made in conversation and use dialog as both method and subject matter, often examining technology with a focus on generating new soundscapes, and in turn new forms of listening.

Satz has made a body of work centred on various sound technologies in order to explore notation systems, code and encryption, and ways in which these might resist standardisation, generating new soundscapes, and in turn new forms of listening and attending to the other.

She has performed, exhibited, and screened her work nationally and internationally, including Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Hayward Gallery, London; Sydney Biennale 2016; NTT InterCommunication Center, Tokyo; High Line Art, MoMA, New York; Kadist, San Fransisco; and Sharjah Art Foundation. She has presented solo exhibitions at the Wellcome Collection, London; the Hayward Gallery project space, London; John Hansard Gallery, Southampton; Dallas Contemporary, Texas; George Eastman Museum, Rochester, among others. Satz has worked collaboratively with filmmaker Lis Rhodes, and with a wide range of composers, vocalists, and musicians.
