Summary
Anthony Graves and Carla Herrera-Prats have worked together as Camel Collective since 2010. Graves & Herrera-Pratsœ artworks are motivated by research into marginal histories and critical pedagogies. The two-channel video installation by Camel Collective generates a field of simultaneity between the labor of the gavira artists, who reconstruct the sound landscapes of two walks, and that of two actors reading a selection of letters. Gavira is the name given in Mexico to incidental sound effects, in honor of the great sound designer Gonzalo Gavira. "Camel Collective has taken the last letters exchanged between the German philosophers Herbert Marcuse and Theodor W. Adorno as the occasion to further develop the practice of staging the material aspect of intellectual labor, and revealing forms of labor hidden from view in most forms of cultural production. The letters debate the revolutionary potentials of the student movements of 1969 in the US and Germany. In this work, the artists investigate the meaning of embodying or "touching" theory, and ask about the role the sensous has to play the in the gap between text and world, or in other words, between theory and practice."-Verso Cover.
