Allora & Calzadilla

Jennifer Allora (1974, USA) and Guillermo Calzadilla (1971, Cuba) live in Puerto Rico and have worked together since 1995. The production and use of sound is central to all their work. In his book they explore the continuum between noise and its structuring through music, a potentially rich tool through which cultural, social, and political relationships can be both gauged and challenged. In this book the artists do not so much theorize about music as through it. The design and sequencing between reproductions of works and reference images were conceived in close collaboration with them.
