MORLEY GALLERY, LONDON ENGINE ROOM ART EXHIBITION

17/05/2017
The Engine Room celebrates the most exciting sound art being produced right now by emerging artists from across the world. Following an international open call for works, twenty finalists have been selected to exhibit by an esteemed panel of judges including sound artists Janek Schaefer, Annie Mahtani and publisher of The Wire, Tony Herrington.

The exhibition takes you on a sonic adventure across a diverse range of sound art practice from sound sculptures, sonification of data, voice, instrument anddigital sounds and even silence, with the finalists exploring themes including politics, histories and personal voice. The Engine Room exhibition will also feature a newly commissioned work by established sound artist Tim Murray-Browne. A series of talks and events, from live performances to hands-on sound art sessions accompany the exhibition.

The photography was for the opening of this International exhibition, with musical performances, speeches and a real mix of artwork that incorporates music, sound and dialogue as its main theme. It really makes you think about the artists work as well, using a focal point and then combining effects to bring the piece to life is really clever and this exhibition is a worthwhile visit the next time you are in London. The exhibition finishes on the 1st June.
