"By recalling our attention towards what has been overlooked, Oliver Beer’s works build awareness of the vibration and the sonic agency that every body contains within them. Beer (England, 1985) examines the acoustic interstices of matter in the world through sculptures, installations, videos, and immersive live performances. From the corners of the Sydney Opera House in Composition for Tuning an Architectural Space (2012/2018), the musical scores drawn by his 87-year-old grandmother (Oma, 2020) or childhood songs (Composition for Mouths (Songs My Mother Taught Me) I & II) he allows for us to hear the distinctiveness of places. If we place sound and listening at the center of how we think of subjectivity alongside space and action, we arrive at relational understandings that are distinct and dynamic."
