New Residency by Kaðlín Sara Ólafsdóttir

We welcome Kaðlín Sara Ólafsdóttir at LOOS for her residency research called “composing nostalgia”!

Kaðlín Sara Ólafsdóttir is an Icelandic artist recently graduated from the Institute of Sonology in The Hague. Mostly she works with cassettes and cassette players, exploring the possibilities of low-quality sound and obsolete materials. Kaðlín has made several sound installations using hacked cassette players and old cassettes, exposing the fragile materiality of the cassette and the recorded stories that it holds. Recently, she has made compositions and live performances focusing on nostalgia and deterioration by bringing to light the imperfections of the cassette player and connecting it to the imperfections of memory.

At LOOS Kaðlín will continue her research of through live performances and sound installations.
