«Works incorporating sound are rapidly becoming more entrenched in survey exhibitions of contemporary art. Yet, three years after the Tate dropped the “visual” from the Turner visual art prize, the relationship between sound art and visual art is still indistinct. Rather than accepting a submissive subdomain of a new visual art world, sound art has brought with it its own internal complexes and its inherently knotty relationships to such domains as performance, music, film and sound design. Now that the customary silence of the exhibition space has been decisively swept away by the proliferation of new approaches to technologies and domains of practice, Breaking the Mirror of Silence seeks to amplify crucial debates about sound in contemporary art.
The works in Breaking the Mirror of Silence each propose different ways in which sound in the arts can be a vehicle for exchange in gallery exhibitions. The artists come from a wide range of sound-based practices, linked by their involvement in the innovative MA Sound Arts programme at London College of Communication.
On the Saturday Breaking the Mirror of Silence LIVE will include a morning symposium hosted by CRiSAP (Centre for Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice) followed by a series of live performances.
11:00 - 14:30: Symposium
The symposium will include the exhibition's curator Mark Jackson in conversation with Martin A. Smith, a chance to talk to the artists about their work and a performance by Lauri Achté.
18:00 - 21:00: Performance Evening
An evening of performances by Robbie Judkins, Howie Lee and Yiorgis Sakellariou
Breaking the Mirror of Silence is curated by Mark Jackson, supported by London College of Communication and CRiSAP, and presents the final work of the MA Sound Arts graduates of London College of Communication. Entrance to the exhibition, performances and symposium is free.»
