Pachinko is pleased to invite you to the book launch and exhibition of Tips of the Sung by artist and writer Samuel Brzeski. The book is published by Lydgalleriet / Vibrational Semantics, Bergen.

Tips of the sung is a collection of interdisciplinary texts from Brzeski composed over the past five years whilst he has been Associate Artist at Lydgalleriet. The collection brings together performance scripts for voice and video with newly composed texts for the page. Centring on the vibrations of the voice, the texts exist somewhere between signification and delirium, at times making more sound than sense.

Tips of the Sung is full of bumbling mumbles, meandering hums, homophones, inner voices, affirmations, motivations, subvocalisations, resolutions, errors in speech production, peach seduction, car maintenance manuals, self-help fallacies, roomy echo chambers, overheard language lessons, morning meditations, and other forms of verbal rehearsal at the limits of language.

The video installation Blake fruid, which features in the book, will also be installed in the gallery for the duration.

Happening concurrently with the new book fair Kunstbok Oslo, the launch event will take place on Friday 15 November at 5pm and will include a performative reading from Brzeski. The gallery will stay open Saturday 16th, for a further opportunity to view Blake fruid and buy a copy of the book.

Tips of the Sung is designed by Mads Andersen and supported by Arts Council Norway and Norwegian Visual Artists Fund.
