Siobhan Davies Studios
Audialsense




London Festival of Architecture

Saturday 19 June
At Siobhan Davies Studios,
Elephant & Castle, London


Open Studios and Meet the Artists
Siobhan Davies Studios will open its entire building to view as part of the city wide celebration of architecture. Visitors will be free to explore all areas of the RIBA award-winning building designed by Sarah Wigglesworth, talk with the RCA MA Ceramics & Glass students, whose works will be on show as part of their Out of Practiceexhibition, and experience Audialsense installation in the Roof studio.

Installation: Audialsense
This durational work uses dense tonal chords of sine waves, based on the wavelengths associated with the dimensions of the Roof Studio at Siobhan Davies Studios. The modulation of these tones is based on the stuttering rhythmic patterns of the cladding systems on the nearby Strata SE1 tower by architects BFLS.

Time: 2-5pm
Tickets: free event
Booking: none required

Workshop: Experiencing sound through movement
Siobhan Davies Dance will lead a workshop using movement to heighten the experience of the sound and the invisible architecture it creates in the Roof Studio. Participants will be guided by JADE fellow Tammy Arjona in their explorations of passing through the different volumes of sound, making choices in the pathways they carve through the space. This workshop is supported by BFLS.

Time: 12-1.30pm
Tickets: free event
Booking: 020-7091-9650

Foundation Stone Ceremony
This ceremony will mark the installation of a foundation stone created by the artist Laura Wilson with the building’s architect, Sarah Wigglesworth.

Gesamtkunstwerk 2012

Debut Salon Show

Private View Friday 18th June 2010, 6.30-late

The Hackney Rose, 458 Hackney Rd, E2 9EG

19th - 27th June, Friday-Sunday 12-6pm

Or by appointment 0793 1439942

The first exhibition of the Gesamtkunstwerk 2012 project brings together all the artists involved in this ‘total artwork’ which will manifest itself as an artist’s road trip across the United States in 2012. This international troupe of artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, etc. will be art, make art, and exhibit art and more from the West to the East coast in the summer of 2012.

The practises showcased in the Debut Salon Show come from a range of media, though here they are represented as wall-based work, hung in the style of a Parisian Salon exhibition. The style of hanging is not in accordance with the Salon’s values, but rather an acknowledgment of the method and aesthetic style of hanging large group exhibitions. This seems particularly appropriate for such a large group show, and as a historic parallel with the idea of the gesamtkunstwerk.

This first exhibit is intended as a launch for the forthcoming project, and an opportunity to view the work of all who are involved—though this group will be evolving and changing in the two year interim. In the two years before its manifestation, curated group exhibitions will happen under the umbrella of the gesamtkunstwerk project. This framework provides a starting point for further exhibitions, events, and enquiries into multi-disciplinary practise. The artists involved come from 12 different countries in total, and the majority of them work in the United Kingdom. When the final troupe embark on this monumental road trip, the different cultures will grant a transient yet lasting contribution to the contemporary landscape of the USA. During the road trip of travelling exhibitions, gigs, and performances in various institutions, the opportunities to engage in cross-cultural artistic debate will be vast. The international mix of cultural and artistic production will demonstrate the contrasts and similarities that exist between modes of production in the US, Europe, and beyond. The Debut Salon Show is the only occasion where all participants are seen exhibiting together, until the Gesamtkunstwerk finally happens in 2012.
