Installation by Photinus Studio & Zoë Irvine: Ukrainian new media artist group Photinus Studio will work with Scottish sound artist Zoë Irvine to create a sound installation bridging the sonic landscapes of Ukraine and Scotland. Dedicated to the sounds of non-human life, the installation explores the contrasts and connections between the two environments and will be presented as a ‘sonic object’ simultaneously in Glasgow and Kyiv.
This installation is part of Time Based: Sonic Interventions — a festival of experimental music by Ukrainian and UK artists exploring the sounds that shape us, move us, and disrupt our world.
With a focus on the imperative to speak out and have your voice heard, the festival offers a unique platform for collaboration via live concerts, sonic happenings and audio-visual installations – weaving together the rich cultural heritage of both nations. A talks and public engagement programme further encourages audiences to pause, reflect, and connect, to demonstrate solidarity in the face of aggression and to engage with the beauty and danger of sounds beyond our control.
Time Based: Sonic Interventions invites audiences to experience a programme of compelling works that span cultures, genres and ideas, providing an exploration of sound, place, collaboration and resilience.
Time Based: Sonic Interventions is curated by Olha Bekenshtein (UA) and Martel Ollerenshaw (UK) and a co-production between Time Based, a platform dedicated to advancing contemporary performance arts in Ukraine and Arts & Parts, a platform for the presentation of interdisciplinary art.
Time Based: Sonic Interventions is funded by the British Council’s International Collaboration Grants, which are designed to support UK and overseas organisations to collaborate on international arts projects. More information here.
