Amelioration:

LCC Sound Art and Design Group Show (Year 2)

Information

“a grasping of beauty from the punishing maelstrom of existence”
 
GALLERY46 presents a group exhibition created by B.A. (Hons) Sound Arts & Design students from London College of Communication.
A diverse range of works have been collaboratively produced and are here presented for the first time to the general public.
The title of the show relates to the context of the show on a number of levels. Most proximately, as a group, this new generation of sonic practitioners is happy to be able to show in such a unique and inspiring environment: a central feature of the show is the exploration of the role of sound within a fine art gallery context. What is the current status of sound art? What might it contribute to contemporary notions of art-making and what role, if any, might such a form, and its hosting partner, play in improving subjective and collective experiences of immanent spaces, temporalities and narratives?
Are these artists seeking to enhance the experience of visual art via an alternate sensory modality? i.e. by proposing an aesthetics of listening? Are they then consequently pointing us toward a tuned and attentive sensibility to the profound silences haunting the margins of contemporary noise (e.g. immigrant histories, ecological devastation, male violence). Conversely, are these artists turning us towards the noise and finding a musicality or agency in their deconstructions of language, technology, identity and architecture?
Our present time clearly presents important challenges, and this group of artists feel compelled to seek the means to ameliorate their environments via a sounding collective action and a social expression of novel sensory and conceptual configurations. The work ranges from audio-visual compositions, sound performance, interior and liminal installations, found objects, soundscape / ambient strategies and digital / post-digital media.

ABOUT THE WORKS:

 

ESTHER GAYLE   – Bāri (Home)

The Bāri audio installation is a reflection of two nationalities coming together as one- Unification. Appreciating the community of Bangladeshi lineage, who have positively contributed to the infrastructure of Tower Of Hamlet area of London. (Bāri with a dot underneath the r letter) Is Bangla for Home.

FAITH OLUWADAISI   – Human Mode

Faith’s work uses the spoken word and sound compositions to initiate creative thinking and problem solving actions that can bring about improved Social interaction and dissolve Identity crisis.

DORAN EDWARDS and JOSEPH JOHNSON   – Because  (a poem by Phoebe Bishop-Wright)

‘because of moth holes and head lice and the extortionate price of life-saving medicine because of microwave meals for one and ‘missed connections’ and weather-beaten posters for missing persons and missing (by milliseconds) your seat on that abysmal deathtrap of a vehicle and because of the people who get found half rotten by their postman’

SEVERIN BLACK and NICHOLAS KIDD   – Articulate

ISAK REE, VANGELIS MARKOU and VOLKAN KIZILTUG   – Kymata

This piece explores the physical phenomena of vibrations by visualising the sound waves produced by the interior and exterior of Gallery 46. Piano wires attached to the structure allow it to function as a resonant body, thus creating an instrument that plays itself. The production of sound in this case is dependant on natural systems outside and activity within the gallery.

CIARA DREW and JO WEST  – In our shoes

Whilst walking home one night the sound of my high heels gave an attacker time to hide behind the bins that surround the door to my flat. This piece was created to highlight how every moment of our existence we must be aware of our presence in the world, and how tiring that can be.

 WILL ROTHWELL  – HOW TO BREATE IN ALL CAPS

Infographic animation incorporating vocoded voice over and synthesised sounds. Satirical piece focusing on the required development of faux confidence as an artist in the music industry.

DOMINIC WATERFIELD  – Teach me how to scratch DJ

The city leaves its mark. Relief is temporal.

LLORENÇ GARCIA BAS, NIMA KHADEMLOU and BRANDON CAICEDO MOSQUERA – Not a game

What happens when you play with nature? A reflection of human indifference towards climate change.

KAMIL SZNAJDER  –  Phantom Strikes

chasing the root, motion of stillness.

KYRIN CHEN   – Ginger, chopped and steeped

A byproduct of sound post duration. The body strolling in time, filling the gaps between each controlled fall. https://kyrinspacechen.cargo.site/

EDIE CHADDOCK  – subtle shadows

What we try to disguise and hide, although it’s always there, somewhere, hiding in plain sight.
