Late Shift Extra: Noise of Art
18.00–22.00
Late Shift in partnership with FTI Consulting
Noise of Art was curated with New Music Plus
Noise of Art was a one-off, site specific music and sound extravaganza. From classical to house, leading creative music producers created audio-visual works which reflected the space and themes of the Gallery.
Events included:
- Maija Handover installed the site-specific sound work The Vanishing Walls in the Tudor galleries, using found sounds from historic houses
- Creative producer Ben Osborne and Your mum created Outside-in, a 360˚ audio visual portrait of the exterior of the Gallery projected inside
- Composer and creative producer Phillip Neil Martin teamed up with vocal ensemble Juice, crossing the divide between experimental concert pieces, dance, film and fashion
- Human beatboxer and creative producer Jason Singh created a sonic response to The Anti-Slavery Society Convention by Benjamin Robert Haydon
- Overlap explored the shifting relationship between moving and still image portraits of Chinese silent-movie star Anna Mae Wong, accompanied by the artist’s audio soundscape
- New Music Plus producer and concert pianist Will Dutta played studies and nocturnes with fellow pianist Stuart Davies, reflecting on the musical legacy of two pioneering composers, Chopin and Liszt
- Noise of Art collaborator Mark Scott Wood marched his silent political protest banners and slogans through the Victorian galleries
- DJ sets from Ben Osborne and friends
