(re)visionLAND

The Changing Room, Stirling

The first UK solo show by Alejandra Salinas and Aeron Bergman, musicians / artists who live and work in Logrono, Spain, relocating from New York. With ‘(re)visionLAND’, their aim is to 'set up a puzzling situation of dialogue about landscape'. The work, including full size replication of English Garden scene (with sound), video works and traditional Spanish Belen christmas window scene, suggests subjects such as colonialism, foot and mouth and shaping of the land, but also talks about myth, and utopian images slipping (and surviving) in the cracks.

Alejandra & Aeron

‘(re)visionLAND’ is the first UK solo show by Alejandra Salinas and Aeron Bergman, musicians / artists who live and work in Logrono, Spain, relocating from New York, where they were married in a Chinatown church in 1997.

Since 1997, Alejandra & Aeron have operated the Lucky Kitchen record label, subtly combining a fine art aesthetic of ideas through beautifully measured home made packaging with a refreshingly off-the-cuff approach to realism in their sound work. Describing their work as "electronic folk music", Alejandra & Aeron bring an evocative human touch to the normally cold formalist worlds of experimental music and sound based art.

With ‘(re)visionLAND’, their aim is to "set up a puzzling situation of dialogue about landscape". Humans manipulate and posses land as if it were a clay model.
The work, including full size replication of English Garden scene (with sound), video works and traditional Spanish Belen christmas window scene, suggests subjects such as colonialism, foot and mouth and shaping of the land, but also talks about myth, and utopian images slipping (and surviving) in the cracks.

Alejandra & Aeron have exhibited and performed internationally, releasing sound works on record labels such as Fat Cat (UK), Audiobus (France), Tom (Germany), Goodiepal (Denmark), Audioview (Belgium).
In addition to a regular recording schedule, and film soundtrack work, their installation "Bells Intervals" rang from the belltower of the Ex Teresa Contemporary Art Museum in Mexico City this past July.
Their sound work entitled "Pueblos Asolados, Underwater Villages" in the "Listening Pod" is currently exhibiting at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris before moving onto the Museum of Modern Art in Luxembourg in November 2001.

‘(Re)visionland’ is curated by Scottish artists collective Diskono, long time collaborators with Alejandra & Aeron and funded by the Scottish Arts Council through ‘International Projects in Scotland’ scheme.

-Alejandra and Aeron conjure a world that truly has to be seen--and heard--to be believed.-
