The Sound Playground at fortyfivedownstairs
Bus Projects
Tuesday 06 July 2010 to Saturday 17 July 2010
Opening Tuesday 06 July 2010 5pm - 7pm
This Sound Playground consists of a number of installation pieces with sonic properties that audiences are invited to play and will also feature a series of sound performances by the artists using these instruments. The exhibition has been curated by Amelia Douglas and Nella Themelios and includes the work of Emma Lashmar, Rod Cooper, Ros Bandt and Albert Mishriki, and Rowan Mcnaught.
Rod Cooper presents a new series of ‘sonic portraits’ in which items of clothing cast in concrete become the armature for the aural conjuring of well known personalities in the Australian sound scene. Emma Lashmar offers an exquisite hand-blown glass installation designed to be bowed and played percussively. Ros Bandt and Albert Mishriki’s original music-boxes place the focus on disguise and gesture in the generation of sound, whilst Rowan McNaught’s interactive ‘Manifon’ (pictured above) offers a new take on an ancient instrument.
For details of performance times and to book tickets (all tix $15), check back with us soon. The Sound Playgound is produced by Timothy Webster, and has been generously supported by the City of Melbourne and Liquid Architecture.
