Chris Watson: Quarantine
- Fri, 27 Jan 2012
- 7.30 PM - 9.30 PM
Founder member of influential Sheffield based music group Cabaret Voltaire, Chris Watson is one of the world’s leading recorders of wildlife and natural phenomena. His work includes contributions to David Attenborough’s The Frozen Planet TV Series and his Weather Report was named in The Guardian’s 1,000 Albums to Hear Before You Die list.
Here Chris Watson presents the UK premiere of new album El Tren Fantasma and a live performance of his sound score for Quarantine, a video work by Gina Czarnecki. Using stethoscope recordings from inside the performer’s body through physical exertion and body impact, these breaths, heartbeats and tendons provide a rich tapestry, drawing us deeper into motion, rhythm, time and space.
Free, ticket required.
This performance forms part of our Gina Czarnecki programme. The three live performances involve sound, movement, dance, live art and installation, and have been programmed in response to some of the themes of Gina Czarnecki’s exhibition in the gallery.
