Weight & Sound

A collaborative project initiated by Emily Shepherd in conversation with Thomas Leyland-Collins, Fiona Teresa Keenan, Benjamin Parkes, Amy Pickles, Adam Scarborough and Alison Joan Stockwell

Featuring familiar objects, found objects, and work by Ragnar Jonasson, Helen Shaddock and Alison Joan Stockwell

Can we interpret sculpture through sound?

What does this bring to our experience of sculpture?

Weight and Sound seeks to investigate these questions, not to arrive at a definitive conclusion but to open up this idea as a line of enquiry, an interpretive tool for discussing sculpture.

Through considering an object’s spatial and material qualities and interpreting these through sound, the project emerges as an alternative to traditional methods of interpreting sculpture, creating sound experiments that serve to alter the viewer’s experience and offer new avenues of exploration.

Urgent Call for Sculptures!

A collaborative group of artists, musicians and enthusiasts are investigating the notion of weight and sound in objects, considering sculptural forms in terms of their weight, and what this weight or mass may sound like.

We need art objects to demonstrate this notion and are seeking large, mixed media objects. The sculptures do not need to have any reference to sound or produce any sound. The objects will be displayed in a usual exhibition format with their sound accompaniments (the results of the investigation) accessible to visitors via headphones.

The objects will be exhibited on the 2^nd and 3^rd of March as part of Sound Thought – A Festival of Sound, Performance and Research at the Arches, Glasgow, early March 2012.

You will be required to install and de-stall your work. To submit works please email weightandsound@gmail.com with a brief outline of your practice and provide images.

Deadline: 9^th February 5:00 pm
