INCANTATIONS

INCANTATIONS is a collection of sixteen visual and sonic experiments centred around the idea of score as spell. The project was curated and produced for The Witch Institute in 2021 by Brandon Hocura and Naomi Okabe, who together run the record label Séance Centre. Pairing a visual/test-based artist with a musician/composer, they commissioned original works in which a spell (visual score) was interpreted and manifested in sound. The contributing artists include Felicia Atkinson (Belgium), bill bissett (Canada), adrienne maree brown (USA), Scott Gailey (Canada), C.R. Gillespie (Canada), Beverly Glenn-Copeland (Canada), David Horvitz (USA), Benjamin Kilchofer (Switzerland), Idris Rahman (UK), Mehrnaz Rohbakhsh (Canada), Gavilan Rayna Russom (USA), Tomoko Sauvage (Japan/France), Dani Spinosa (Canada), Mona Steinwidder/Museum Of No Art (Germany), Yu Su (China/Canada), Andrew Zukerman (Canada).
