Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.

A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).
