at adams suggestion, here's a post about Her Noise.
HER NOISE is an exhibition featuring five newly commissioned works by international artists whose practice shares the use of sound as a medium to investigate social relations, inspire action or uncover hidden soundscapes. New works by Kim Gordon; Emma Hedditch; Christina Kubisch; Kaffe Matthews and Hayley Newman all involve high levels of participation and are set in motion only when used by visitors or performers forming a base for events, live music and performances.
In ‘Reverse Karaoke’ Kim Gordon aims to demystify the process of music making. Drawing on the DIY nature of her musical history with her band Sonic Youth, Gordon invites visitors to record their own track using samples of her voice and music.
Christina Kubisch has developed two works. Her installation at the South London Gallery introduces into a small room a spiderweb of black electrical cables in which by wearing a special electromagnetic headphone the public can receive the sounds of electroacoustic fields collected from all over the world by Kubisch. Her second piece, West End Electrical Walks, allows visitors to discover these sounds for themselves by picking up headphones from the Goethe-Institut and following a map of the surrounding area.
In Kaffe Matthews’s ‘Sonic Bed, Menu Of Five Pleasures’ the visitor becomes physically affected by a spectrum of sound vibrations emanating from above and below while lying on Matthew’s sensuous sonic bed. The visitor can freely test out five different pleasure modes.
