History Of Consciousness

Gabriel Salomon Mindel is an interdisciplinary artist, musician and scholar whose research combines the study of sound and theories of power, particularly the use of noise to extend beyond the limits of the body in struggles for space and political autonomy. For two decades he has been exhibiting artwork, performing improvised music and composing for dance and film. His writing has been published in numerous arts publications as well as Sounding Out! and The Journal of Aesthetics & Protest.

Education:

MFA; School for the Contemporary Arts, Simon Fraser University (2013)

Gabriel Saloman Mindel's dissertation research explores the dynamic relationship between noise and protest, considering the performance of soundmaking as an intervention into the sovereign power to silence, and the hidden violence embedded in the sonic disruption of public and private space. Within this larger critical noise studies project are interdisciplinary explorations of social movements, musical performance, border theory, free speech and human rights discourse, modern political theory, critical geography, Black critical theory, public art, queer phenomenology, histories and theologies of abolition, and the figure of Paul Robeson.

 

Other research includes:

  • The relationship between contemporary art, soundscapes, landscapes, Indigeneity and settler colonialism.
  • The sonic mediation of wartime violence in written, audio-visual and material forms.
  • The Witch as a historical and cultural figure at the intersections of gender, race, capital, sovereign power and fantasy.

  • Sound Studies
  • Critical Theories of Race, Class & Gender
  • Media & Cultural Studies

Rent Burden: 72% (what's this?). Most graduate students at UCSC face severe rent burden, which means spending more than 50% of their stipends, before taxes, on housing. That is why I support the campaign to grant students and workers at UCSC a cost of living adjustment (COLA). To learn more, go to http//:www.payusmoreucsc.com.
