Pablo Sanz is an artist currently based in Spain and Northern Ireland. His work includes site-specific and public art projects, immersive installations, multichannel live performances in the dark, exhibitions, releases, broadcasts and headphone listening pieces. His practice is an open-ended investigation of listening, sound-space, more-than-human agencies, aural vitality and otherness, focusing on the limits and thresholds of perception and attention. His environmental sound works explore the vibrant entanglements of bodies, creatures, energies, materials, spaces, and technologies, encouraging a sensory ecological awareness. Listening becomes a political act intended to resist dominant tendencies in contemporary societies, cultivating alternative forms of being and thinking.
Pablo´s works have been experienced internationally in different contexts, and he has worked in residency at EMS, VICC (Sweden), Matadero Madrid, Casa de Velázquez (Spain), Q-O2 (Belgium), Mamirauá Institute and LASom (Brazil), among others. His recent composition “strange strangers”, commissioned for R{A}DIO{CUSTICA} in the Czech Radio, received a Phonurgia Nova Award 2020.
He holds a PhD from the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC) at Queen ́s University Belfast and previously attended the Institute of Sonology and the ArtScience Interfaculty in The Hague. Currently, he lectures in the Master of Electroacoustic Music Composition at CSKG in Madrid.
