PROBES <
http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag> takes Marshall McLuhan’s
conceptual contrapositions as a starting point to analyse and expose the
search for a new sonic language made urgent after the collapse of tonality
in the twentieth century. The series looks at the many probes and
experiments that were launched in the last century in search of new musical
resources, and a new aesthetic; for ways to make music adequate to a world
transformed by disorientating technologies.
You can find the latest instalment of the series, exploring the impact of
Indian instruments in Western Music here.

We really recommend our conversation with feminist and Art Historian
Griselda Pollock
<
https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/griselda-pollock-main/capsula>, where we
talk bout her involvement in the Women’s Movement in England in the
seventies, and about the points of convergence between feminism and art
history. Pollock advocates the need to decentralise and diversify
knowledge, and to design resistance strategies specific to each
socio-political context. And, last but not least, also reflects on memory
technologies, trauma, Oedipal and mother-child relationships, narratives of
progress, and Bracha Ettinger’s matrixial ethics.
