Soundtrap V: Bruce Gilbert and BAW
Diluvial, 2011

Local preoccupations with rising sea levels fuel Diluvial – a work that dwells on the dynamics of flood geology and global warming; creation stories and climate change.

Diluvial is an evolving soundscape and environment by Bruce Gilbert (ex Wire) and Beaconsfield ArtWorks (David Crawforth and Naomi Siderfin). Fifth in the Soundtrap series, this new sonic work was initiated on the Suffolk coast for Faster than Sound, Aldeburgh Music 2011 and is now developed for London.

A new soundtrack will be created on a weekly basis throughout the exhibition and presented within a changing physical environment.

Friday 28 October at 7pm
Post-diluvial performance

      


Nooshin Farhid
Conic Trilogy, 2010
Parabola 22:00 / Hyperbola 26:00 / Ellipsis 9:00

Conic Trilogy is a series of three digital films made in part on Orford Ness, Suffolk, a small island which politically resonates through its history of espionage, atomic testing and international communications.

The trilogy – Parabola, Ellipsis and Hyperbola – references a mathematical concept whereby those forms are all obtained by intersecting a “conical surface” with a plane, in turn, referring to an intersection of different narratives, disciplines and ideologies in the work. A fictional text links this signature assemblage, written by Nooshin Farhid and narrated by Ross Mullan.

The work is cinematically presented with screenings at 11.30 / 13.00 / 14.30  / 16.00 during gallery hours.

Friday 30 September at 7pm

Screening with live reading by Ross Mullan
