Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?

An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
Smith/Stewart set up allegorical situations over which they often have little to no control, but which instigate explorations of dependence and trust, the body, sex and death.
A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
