Salomé Voegelin
Biography
Salomé Voegelin is an artist and writer engaged in listening as a socio-political practice. She takes the invisible and relational as a starting point and employs a sonic sensibility to re-imagine the world from its indivisibility. She writes articles and papers, books, texts and text-scores for performance and publication. Her most recent book Uncurating Sound: Knowledge with Voice and Hands, Bloomsbury (2023) moves curation through the double negative of ‘not not’ to ‘uncuration’: untethering knowledge from the expectations of reference and a canonical frame, and reconsidering art as political, not in its message or aim, but by the way it confronts its own display. While her shorter publication Unperforming the Dream House, activeRat (2023) reimagines the dreams of the 1960s and 70s in a contemporary frame. She often works collaboratively and curates sonic things; Her Cassette Album, an audio-cassette compilation of eight responses to her tape-scores, wasreleased by Flaming Pines in in June 2025. Voegelin is a Professor of Sound at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London.
