Simon Whetham: Active Crossover
Stage Two
Grey Area Gallery
31 Queens Road
Brighton
BN1 3XA

Friday 5th - Sunday 28th February 2010
open Thu-Sun 1-5pm

A sound art exhibition, utilizing two sonic chambers, but allowing for controlled sound-bleed outside the spaces, it features an immersive composition initiated while Simon was artist-in-residence at the Polymer Factory Culturehouse (in Tallinn, Estonia). The piece also features recordings captured in Bristol, the location of the previous exhibition, and Brighton, the current location, creating a work that reflects the projects journey, being recreated every time it is exhibited.

This composition is juxtaposed with pieces by artists Simon collaborated, performed and worked with during the residency, and subsequent exhibitions of 'Active Crossover', including John Grzinich, Jez riley French, Douglas Benford and Iris Garrelfs.

Simon would like to thank Sound Service (Oxford) Ltd. for the sound absorbant acoustic foam.
