Sound Escapes

Title: Sound Escapes
Location: Space / Mare street
Start Time: 18:30
Date: 2009-07-24

Co-curated by Irene Revell (Electra) and Angus Carlyle (LCC)

Sound Escapes is an exhibition to mark the culmination of a radical interdisciplinary
research project that brought artists together with acousticians, engineers and social
scientists from institutions across the UK in an endeavour to move beyond the notions
of negative noise towards the idea of positive soundscapes.

Alongside a public interpretation of the central research strands of the project, the
exhibition includes artists who work with soundscapes across a wide range of practices
and whose work is in conversation with the scientific and sociological questions posed
in the research. Significantly, the works have emerged from a listening process that
challenges what counts as positive; work that understands the auditory world in a more
inquisitive way, indeed an interrogation of what even counts as sound.
