"wait. you seriously think i'm jealous?" laugh is harsh and not at all convincing. "why the fuck would i be jealous of her?" / @bestcurse

closed starter for @maldxta based on this !

she feels like a idiot, which is a new, entirely unwelcome thing for vienna. she'd come to this party to gain the upper hand over them, to prove she's over whatever fucked up relationship they'd found themselves in, and now she's the one sulking by the bar. it takes her a moment to tear her eyes away from the scene they're performing — because she's nothing if not a masochist — but she manages to eventually, downing the rest of her drink in an attempt to get drunk enough to forget.

“i’m sorry, i’m not really sure why you’re still talking to me.”

[touchbased]

the laugh she lets out is borderline manic. how can someone miss the point so spectacularly? "okay, and so what? did you see me eye-fucking him back?" there's a war in her mind between finding his possessiveness hot and real fucking annoying. "who give's a fuck, beck? i'm not over there patching up his bloody lip."

trust beck to miss the point completely, which is exactly what happens, as he pulls back from her touch with a sudden jolt, eyes narrowed as he peers up at her. " so i was right, then? " accusatory tone, unfortunately, is as present as ever. " i knew it. he was basically eye-fucking you all night, vienna! "

"i mean it, mahoney. my concealer's expensive as fuck and i don't want to waste it on your metaphorical pissing contest." as though anyone would care if they saw a hickey on her neck, or would even make the connection that it came from him. she thinks she might just like antagonizing him. there's a whine pitched in the back of her throat when he restricts her movements and denies her any chance of chasing her own pleasure. he's just so goddamn annoying, no matter how much she currently wants him. "fine. but only because i like the idea of your jeans getting dirt on them." far too proud of admit she's conceding for any other reason, like the fact that she really wants to cum on his face.

"mhm, i'll think about it." there was already a small bruise left just below the curve of her jaw, but he'd let her find out about that later. jealousy wasn't something frankie liked to think he struggled with as he found himself usually able to get whatever it was that he wanted, even if it involved quite a bit of lying, but even he couldn't deny that the thought of vienna finding someone to satisfy her that night twisted something in his gut. "i'm saying if you can promise to keep quiet, then maybe i can do something other than let you get off on my knee." he hissed at the sharp pull of his hair and pressed his knee up harder against her, not enough to hurt but just enough as to stop her being able to properly grind on him. "cause unlike that loser, i actually want to eat you out, and i'll actually make you cum."

Swiss Haute Horlogerie Manufacture Audemars Piguet celebrated the unveiling of The Art of Listening: Under Water, a new public site-specific sound composition by Norwegian contemporary artist Jana Winderen during Art Basel in Miami Beach. Located in the Collins Park Rotunda, the installation brings awareness to the ocean’s increasingly fragile ecosystem and represents the artist’s most recent investigation on the environmental impact of human-created sounds on our planet.

Art Basel Jana Winderen

Audemars Piguet marked the celebration of the artwork’s debut in the Collins Park Rotunda with a private press walkthrough and intimate brunch. Led by Susan Simmons, Audemars Piguet Foundation’s General Secretary and Audemars Piguet Associate Curator Denis Pernet, the walkthrough provided guests with an inspiring insight into the Manufacture’s collaboration with Winderen and the latest resultant work, which was completed onsite in Miami by intermixing sounds from local waterways and undersea life. Visitors experienced the work first-hand by listening to the recorded sounds of the oceanic environment and reflecting on the ways in which human activity is constantly interfering with this delicate ecosystem.

Jana Winderen recording

The composition discloses sounds specific to the Miami harbour area, the Barents Sea and the Tropical Oceans exposing the constant presence of human noise that pervades these oceanic environments. The work was produced in conjunction with long-time collaborator Tony Myatt and is free and open to the public throughout Miami Art Week.

Jana Winderen recording

The Art of Listening: Under Water bears strong resonance with a theme present in many of Audemars Piguet’s artistic projects, raising environmental awareness around the world. When asked about her interest in working beneath the surface of the water to source sounds for her compositions, Winderen replied: “I have always been drawn to the underwater environment since I was quite young. There is so much life and activity within it, almost all of which is entirely inaccessible to humans. Recording these sounds offers a way to understand the plants and animals beneath the ocean as well as how these life forms respond to the inescapable human activities which surround them. When you listen to the composition, it’s impossible to decipher the difference between the two, the natural and unnatural, which I hope brings pause and contemplation.”

Jana Winderen

Additionally, Audemars Piguet presented Du Petit Risoud aux profondeurs du Lac de Joux in this year’s Collectors Lounge at Art Basel in Miami Beach, Winderen’s first site-specific commission for Audemars Piguet which followed a two-part residency in the Vallée de Joux in early 2019. The work, which made its debut at Art Basel in Basel (June 2019), also examines the human impact on our environment, bringing listeners on a journey through the unique ecosystem of this remote valley by uncovering the heightened sound of civilisation heard throughout the surrounding forests and the depths of the Lac de Joux.

Jana Winderen

The Lounge also represented the latest chapter in Fernando Mastrangelo’s collaboration with Audemars Piguet. Mastrangelo first unveiled his Lounge design during Art Basel in Hong Kong (March 2019), evolving the project for this year’s edition of Art Basel in Miami Beach by displaying bespoke furniture, design cases and walls inspired by the natural landscape of the Vallée de Joux, precisely crafted after his visit to this mountainous region.

Both Winderen’s and Mastrangelo’s commissioned works presented in Miami Beach provided viewers with intimate glimpses into the multitude of ways in which artists creatively interpret the world around us.

About Jana Winderen

Jana Winderen

Norwegian sound artist Jana Winderen takes her audience on immersive and sensory journeys through our environment. By revealing the small and most inaccessible sounds of our environment, the artist appeals to listeners’ emotions, hoping to gain their interest in and respect for our complex world, while raising ecological awareness. Winderen has graduated from the Fine Art programme at Goldsmiths, University of London and has a background in mathematics, chemistry and fish ecology from the University of Oslo. Since 1992, sound has been at the core of her artistic practice, leading her to travel across Europe, Asia and the Americas to record audio environments and ecosystems hard for humans to access physically and aurally.

Jana Winderen

For the last 14 years, Winderen has used high-precision and high-quality hydrophones, microphones and ultrasound detectors to record sound from fish, crustaceans and mammals, as well as inaudible sounds such as ultrasounds lying above the range of human hearing, gathered in oceans, rivers, lakes or in other environments inaccessible to the human ear. Winderen uses these natural sounds as source material to compose sound collages for immersive multi-channel sound installations, live concerts, as well as soundtracks for film and dance performances. She releases her work on vinyl, CDs, cassettes and as digital downloads.

Jana Winderen

Her sound work has been performed in major institutions and public spaces worldwide. Her current projects include the composition Listening with Carp exhibited at Now is the Time – Wuzhen International Art Exhibition in China, as well as Through the Bones presented at the Thailand International Art Biennale in Krabi (2018–2019).

Jana Winderen

Her multi-channel audio installation Bára, a commission by TBA21–Academy, was shown in 2018 at the exhibition Oceans: Imagining a Tidalectic Worldview, Dubrovnik Museum of Modern Art and at Le Fresnoy: Studio national des arts contemporains. It was also presented as part of Tidalectics, Augarten in Vienna in 2017. Other recent work includes Raft of Ice a permanent temperature interactive sound installation for the US Embassy in Oslo (2018); Spring Bloom in the Marginal Ice Zone: From the Barents Sea to Lake Ontario for work of WIND AIR LAND SEA in Toronto (2018); Rats – Secret Soundscapes of the City, commissioned by the Munchmuseum on the Move/NyMusikk in Oslo (2017); Transmission, commissioned by the V-A-C Foundation for Geometry of Now, Moscow (2017); and Spring Bloom in the Marginal Ice Zone, a commission for the Sonic Acts Festival (2017), among others. The Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo dedicated an important monographic exhibition to Winderen’s research in collaboration with Tony Myatt, Rungrueng Ramanyah and Palin Ansusinha, from June to August 2019.

Winderen was the recipient of the Golden Nica, Prix Ars Electronica for Digital Musics & Sound Art in 2011. Her work is published by the London-based label Touch, alongside artists including Oren Ambarchi, Fennesz, Phill Niblock, Hildur Gudnadottir. http://www.janawinderen.com/

About Fernando Mastrangelo

Fernando Mastrangelo is a Brooklyn-based, contemporary artist specialising in sculpture, furniture, architecture and interior design. Inspired by landscapes, people and politics, his sculptural work experiments with forms, materials and content to create a universe in which nature, textures and the human condition are layered and interconnected. Seeing his work as a “relic for our time,” Mastrangelo repurposes natural granular materials like sand, salt and silica, while often addressing ecological issues. Each piece’s form is influenced by the material used and its geographic origins.

Art Basel Miami Beach Lounge

Mastrangelo received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle in 2002 and completed his Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture in 2004 at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. After his studies, Mastrangelo worked in collaboration with Matthew Barney, before launching his own design studio, now known as FM/S. Located in Brooklyn, his studio has grown over the years to experiment with painting, sculpture, furniture, architecture and interiors, and presents a variety of mediums and collections.

His group and solo works have been exhibited in numerous art fairs and venues including the Collective Design Fair, NYCxDesign, the Sight Unseen Office, the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Art Genève in Switzerland, Art Basel in Miami Beach, the Brooklyn Museum, the Mendes Wood Gallery, the Mike Weiss Gallery, the Neuberger Museum, and the Rossana Orlandi Gallery in Milan. In 2017, with the next generation of makers in mind, Mastrangelo launched a non-profit organisation, In Good Company, with an annual group exhibition that honours the spirit of creativity by providing a platform for emerging artists and designers to exhibit their work without commercial or creative restraint.

About Audemars Piguet and Art

Pursuing its commitment to craft, creativity and innovation, Audemars Piguet formed a partnership with Art Basel in 2013, supporting the world’s premier contemporary art shows in Hong Kong, Basel and Miami Beach. Since then, Audemars Piguet has presented innovative Lounge concepts and artworks at all three Art Basel shows, inviting artists to creatively interpret its heritage and origins.

Audemars Piguet Innovative Lounges

For Audemars Piguet’s inaugural Art Basel Lounge, French designer Sébastien Leon Agneessens created Between Now and Then, an environment that introduced visitors to Audemars Piguet’s place of origin, Le Brassus. Mathieu Lehanneur’s 2014 Lounge concept Mineral Lab explored the themes of technology versus nature. Starting in 2016, Sebastian Errazuriz’s dynamic, immersive Lounge designs complemented Audemars Piguet’s presentation at each Art Basel show. The trilogy of Lounge concepts were inspired by three core natural materials native to the Vallée de Joux — ice (Ice Cycle, 2016), wood (Second Nature, 2017), and ore (Foundations, 2018).

Origins Projects

Since the formation of the partnership in 2013, Audemars Piguet has developed and presented collaborations with artists and designers in the Manufacture’s Collectors Lounge at all three Art Basel shows. The displayed artworks and the spaces in which they are presented reflect on Audemars Piguet’s sense of deep-rooted history, its connections with nature and commitment to creativity, innovation and independence. Audemars Piguet commissions annual Origins projects whereby artists create works that offer their own, highly personal interpretations of the company’s cultural and geographical origins. These projects testify to the fertile dialogue between two distinct areas of creative endeavour—contemporary art and Haute Horlogerie—and are emblematic of the company’s deeply held values.

Audemars Piguet first commissioned the photographic works by British photographer Dan Holdsworth in 2012. At Art Basel in Hong Kong 2014, Audemars Piguet unveiled a new panoramic film, Measure, by Austrian videographer Kurt Hentschläger. In 2015, Audemars Piguet presented an eco-wall of living moss combined with a sound installation titled Wild Constellations by Geneva-based artist Alexandre Joly. In 2016, Audemars Piguet hosted an exhibition titled To Break the Rules, You Must First Master Them, installed within the Yuz Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai for which French designer Mathieu Lehanneur created a temporary space which explored the rich history of the brand. The exhibition, which featured more than 200 watches, was complemented by an original video-work titled Circadian Rhythm by Chinese artist Cheng Ran. This was subsequently presented at Audemars Piguet’s Lounge at Art Basel in Miami Beach in 2017. Remains: Vallée de Joux, a series of ultra-high resolution prints interpreting Audemars Piguet’s origins, was presented on the Lounge at Art Basel in 2018. For Art Basel in Miami Beach 2018, Quayola also presented Promenade, a film which explores the logic and aesthetics of autonomous vehicle computer-vision systems as a drone flies through the secluded forests of the Vallée de Joux.

The Audemars Piguet Art Commission

At the crux of Audemars Piguet’s involvement with the arts is the Audemars Piguet Art Commission. The Commission, announced in May 2014, draws inspiration from the craftsmanship and technical excellence inherent in Audemars Piguet’s legacy of watchmaking. For each Commission, an artist-curator duo is selected to realise a new artwork which explores complexity and precision, while enlisting contemporary creative practice, complex mechanics, technology and science. By inviting artists to push the limits of technical virtuosity and scientific ingenuity, the Art Commission explores the link between the traditions of Haute Horlogerie and Art. Recipients are given carte blanche to realise their project. Audemars Piguet provides full financial support for each Commission, in addition to the specialised expertise required.

The first Commission, unveiled at Art Basel 2015, was created by Swiss artist and composer Robin Meier and curated by Marc-Olivier Wahler. Synchronicity explored the underlying mathematical rules of self-organisation among seemingly unrelated components: fireflies, computers, crickets, sounds and electromagnetic pendulums. In 2016, Ruijun Shen curated Chinese artist Sun Xun’s Reconstruction of the Universe, a large-scale immersive bamboo installation and 3D film, comprised of tens of thousands of hand-carved woodblocks, unveiled at Art Basel in Miami Beach. The following year, Los Angeles-based, multidisciplinary artist Lars Jan was selected for the third Art Commission. His large-scale installation Slow-Moving Luminaries, curated by Kathleen Forde, was also presented on the oceanfront at Art Basel in Miami Beach 2017 and explored topics of oscillations, including time, memory and the changing climate. At Art Basel 2018 in Basel, Semiconductor (Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt) presented HALO, curated by Mónica Bello in collaboration with the CERN. Taking the form of a large cylinder, this work was illuminated and enveloped in the sound produced by data from particle-collision experiments taking place at the CERN.

"sure. totally." after having been forced to converse with a total douchebag for the last ten minutes, vienna decides she simply can't entertain them any longer. so she gets up from her stool and fakes a frown. "i'm so sorry, but i see my partner over here. nice talking to you!" and then she makes an immediate beeline for the first attractive stranger she can find, standing before them with a desperate expression. "hi. can i kiss you?"

[touchbased]

she didn't know why he was laughing; it was a serious offer. because he can't be serious. didn't he know vienna wasn't the love type? she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her own skin, arms crossing over her chest and weight shuffling on her bare feet. brows furrowed as she tried to think of what to say. what does someone say that to me? "you said it yourself, dylan. you're rolling. this is just some... temporary insanity." it has to be. "you'll give me shit tomorrow for letting you say that."

a lobotomy? "ha-ha." he muttered sarcastically, before pushing past her into the apartment as if that would give him any more clarity on his thoughts. instead, it only made him even more stressed, simply because vienna's apartment just embodied everything he loved about her. he turned around to face her, wiping his sweaty hands off on his jeans. "i- it's true, though. i love you, vi."

she really was just looking for the bathroom. it's not her fault the cameron house is a fucking maze (nor should vienna be blamed for the fact that they manage to import the single most boozy kind of champagne known to man), but she knows that won't matter. not when she finds herself opening a door and coming face-to-face with rafe. "shit, sorry," she breathes out, head a little fuzzy from the alcohol and not one ounce of remorse in her tone, "i must have missed the fuckboy dungeon sign on the door." and yet she remains where she is, not-so-subtly glancing him over, stomach flipping at the memory of the last time they found themselves alone at a party.

[touchbased]

it's truly impressive how she manages to be so smug and so horny at the same time. how she can tug his belt off and work at tugging down his jeans with precision and speed, breath hitching as his fingers press into her skin like he wants to mark her, and still tilt her head with a triumphant smirk. "i knew it. maybe i should buy a wig for next time. really test the theory and rub it in that dumb bitch's face." because she knows, by now, that there will be a next time. it's as inevitable as the sun setting at night and rising in the morning. it's also as inevitable as the crashing and burning that'll follow, because it always does, but she can't think about that right now. not when she lifts her arms to assist him, not caring where the discarded shirt ends up, or when she finally gives in and leans forward to kiss him again. "who says i don't like sensitive guys, huh?" just trying to keep him riled up, because that's when beck fucks her best. "maybe i'm into crying."

not that there was much to begin with, but all logic seems to dissipate from his head, now that he's got her like this. the only thing that's left is his interminable desire to be closer, even when her legs hook around his waist. thinks it's as good of a sign as any, both hands resting atop her thighs, fingers digging into warm flesh maybe a little too possessively than he'd enjoy admitting to. still, he can't conceal his obvious change of heart, brows furrowed as he reluctantly admits defeat. " okay, so maybe you'd be the only redhead to get me hard, " the colour of her hair doesn't matter, clearly, when she's already proving to be near successful and she hasn't even touched him yet. at least, he's able to distract himself enough as his gaze drops to her lips, licking at his own. fingers move to toy with the end of her shirt, dipping beneath it before he's hoisting it up, up, up. " don't think he'd stand a chance with you, anyway— i heard he cries when he comes. "
