Silent Spring At Adam Art Gallery

Silent Spring
Adam Art Gallery
Friday 3 April
9-10pm

Silent Spring presents a roaming sound performance throughout the gallery spaces of the Adam Art Gallery to directly engage the audience in a new form of audience/performer dynamic within this setting. The audience will be located centrally in a murky forest of sound built up by the orbiting performers, who in mapping out the site use acoustic sounds looped and layered to reflect the work's accumulative state based on actions over time. By displacing the expected directional focus and continuity of the evening concert format, Silent Spring will sidestep the usual focus on the individual performer and test the temporal nature of traditional sound performance in a collaborative project designed specifically for the critical forum of the Adam Art Gallery.

Silent Spring includes Tim Coster, Auckland sound artist and curator who works with installations, performances and audio releases; Shannon O'Brien, artist and facilitator of sound and performance-related projects in Christchurch and Joshua Rutter, artist, freelance dancer and choreographer from Auckland.
