D A Calf

D A Calf is a sound and installation artist, field recordist and researcher, based between Naarm/Melbourne and Belgrade, Serbia, working predominantly with sound and the act of listening to explore the monumentalist impulse and archives of place, whether they be speculative, hidden, contested, or otherwise. His current research focuses on four monument sites in the former Yugoslavia and the contemporary issues – asylum-seeker routes, extractivism, neo-colonialism and the liminality of unsettled borders – that impinge upon and reterritorialise them. Calf has exhibited work in Europe, South America and Australia, as well as presenting research at numerous international conferences and in academic journals dedicated to sound studies, archival practice, and experimental publication. He is a current PhD candidate at RMIT University.
