Sound art for the V&A Friday Late this March

I'm pleased to be exhibiting a travelling sound installation for the next Late event at the V&A. The event's theme is based upon the Alexander McQueen exhibition, Spectacle of the Species, and I'm collaborating with a fashion designer Quoi Alexander.

The sound work will consist of a cricket soundscape, worn by the models and carries through the galleries. 

Inspired by iPod culture for mobile music, this work explores an earlier form of sonic body adornment - a fashion trend from 1000years ago of concealing crickets in clothing for their song.

March’s Friday Late celebrates the V&A’s Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition. 
18.30 - 22.00 |  #FridayLate
From cocoons in gestation to birds in flight, the natural world was fashion designer Alexander McQueen’s most prominent source of inspiration. Join us for an evening of skeletal armoury, skins, scales and crystals as we explore the natural elements that were intrinsic to McQueen’s vision.

Sound Art for the Royal Academy Late event, March 26th

I've been commissioned by the Royal Academy to create a sound work for the late event 'Rubens: Decrypted' on 26th March.

I have created two 'Whispering Walls' that will share ideas about the the life and actions of the man behind the paintings using speakers hidden behind the images. One wall addresses his his careers as a diplomat, the other, his travels across the world.

Each wall visually references ideas of Phychogeography using imagery of Rubens paintings to prompt a new understanding. While sonically the walls explore field recordings of place and space aswell as concrete poetry style dialogue.
