bianca gabrielle goyette

bianca gabrielle goyette (b. 1980something) is a mechanic. In the sense that she practices constructing and deconstructing, dissecting and analyzing, listening and looking. She makes things. One might call her a transdisciplinary artist, but she prefers to be called by her name. She studies the materiality of sound, the cadence of fibers, and the nature of being together. She practices, and she makes.

bianca works with materials that speak to the dichotomy between strength and fragility, the inextricably intertwined nature(s) of being. She is a vocalist working in acoustic resonance. She is a papermaker building and breaking fibril bonds through constructive synthesis and destructive laser processes. She is a writer analyzing the poetics of dialectics within the pathology of language, speech, phatic language, interjected sound, and non-lexical vocables. She is a photographer and videographer producing layered approaches to visual and auditory storytelling. She is a designer specializing in the fabrication of digital assets and experiences that reposition interaction models.

bianca also holds an MFA in Studio Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a BFA in Photography and Design from Parsons School of Design. She has studied Audio Engineering at Tribeca Flashpoint Academy and Papermaking at Oxbow School of Art and Artist Residency. She has performed and exhibited in venues, festivals, art fairs, museums, and galleries across the United States and Mexico. She has released multiple EPs, Publications, and Short Films and has been featured in others. She runs a statewide community arts organization in New Mexico (TAAC) and is a member of three (3) artist collectives (Southwest Black Arts Collective, nHnT, and One and Three Chairs).

bianca currently stays in Brooklyn, NY, and Angel Fire, NM, splitting her time between the sounds of the city and those of the mountains.

Project Title: in the key of all the keys : the poetics of inter-sonorous residue 

Project Description: There is a striking visual similarity between the magnified structural elements of paper fibers and the interwoven materiality of muscle tissue. This project centers around the poetics of acoustic and particle residue: connection, translation, and rupture. It is an investigation into the dynamics of sound in relation to the mechanics of fiber/fibril structures in paper. Re][connecting text to textile to the pathology of language, speech, and the interwoven network of frequencies that make up the temporal.

Project Inspiration: The poetics of papermaking, the distribution of the breath, phonic residue.
