Sharpen your thinking and expand your artistic practice by attending the Sonic Acts Masterclasses by Martin Howse & Nik Gaffney, Kurt Hentschläger, Robin Hayward, Graham Harman and Liam Young.
Kurt Hentschläger’s latest audiovisual installation, Measure (2014) reflects on nature as filtered through communication channels and media. It will be exhibited daily during the Sonic Acts Festival.
The book The Geologic Imagination (336 pp.) is truly a guide to the festival theme. The publication is a richly illustrated collection of essays, visual contributions and interviews, and is accompanied by unearthed, a new sound work by BJ Nilsen.
To make the festival happen, we are looking for volunteers to assist with communication and production. Furthermore, we will need bloggers, photographers and stewards for the information desk. So grab the opportunity to become part of the Sonic Acts festival team 2015!
