Annea Lockwood’s installation “A Sound Map of the Housatonic River” (2010) is constructed from both surface and underwater recordings of the Housatonic River, from the river’s source in the Berkshire mountains to its mouth in the Long Island Sound.
Everyday Experimental draws its inspiration from commonplace activities and inconsequential sounds of the everyday: from Knowles’ exploration of the sound of a bean to Lambkin’s uncanny field recordings of the interior and grounds of his home in upstate New York.
With a special focus on the contribution of women to sound art, ISSUE Project Room will present a series of performances and talks with Alison Knowles [11/17], a new work by Moniek Darge followed by electroacoustic collaborations with Françoise Vanhecke and Graham Lambkin [11.18] and a sound installation by Annea Lockwood [11/14-11/19], along with a performance by Lois Svard of Lockwood’s Ear-Walking Woman and a multi-channel sound piece by Chicago based composer Olivia Block [11.19]. Through an intergenerational dialogue, Everyday Experimental looks at the work of three historically significant female artists and maps relevant contemporary practices.
