The 3-minute scream, Gina Birch (1977), was uncomfortable yet deeply moving. Although this is just one part of the (huge) Women in Revolt exhibition it is inescapable and heard throughout the gallery space. The contrast of the scream with typically clinical silence you would typically expect from a gallery like Tate Britain. Marie Thompsons’ ‘In Resonances: Noise and Contemporary Music’ comes to mind, particularly the chapter discussed in class ‘Gossips, Sirens, Hi-Fi Wives: Feminizing the Threat of Noise’. We discussed this text in class, I found this a really interesting conversation to be a part of. This prompted me to research Marie Thompson in greater detail. Later in the lecture, we discussed Diamanda Galas’ ‘Wild Women with Steak Knives’(1982) which also really reminded me of ‘The 3-minute Scream’. The way both Gina Birch and Diamanda Galas use the sound of screams is incredibly honest and moving. They hit the nail on the head portraying what it can feel like to be a women but in such an interesting way, because when are women ever allowed to scream or make a fuss about literally anything! These two ladies are very inspiring to me. With all this in mind, I feel inspired to research gendered sounds more and I am beginning to form ideas about how I could include this in my practice.
