Touch at a Distance

Seven Thousand Oaks Festival of Art and Sustainability presents Touch at a Distance, a day of music, installations and soundwalks in the Heide Sculpture Park that focuses on the importance of listening and its role in developing a more sustainable approach to our presence in the environment and community. Artists from around Australia will inhabit Heide’s beautiful gardens throughout the day, allowing you to wander and experience the event at your own pace.

Performances will include Jim Denley on wind instruments, Dale Gorfinkel with vibraphone and home made instruments built from recycled materials and Ross Bolleter playing ruined pianos. Alan Lamb will set up some of his infinite music machines, Matt Chaumont will contribute a large scale installation producing sub-bass frequencies you feel rather than hear and Philip Samartzis will present recordings from his recent trip to Antarctica. Meanwhile, Anthony Magen will lead the development of a program of soundwalks that visitors will be able to take around the property.
