Empty Orchestra
Curated by Georgie Park & Samuel Rodgers
Eastside Projects Second Gallery
13 to 26 October 2011
Empty Orchestra is the literal translation of karaoke. The exhibition includes works by Dom Allen, Sophie Lisa Beresford, Stephen Cornford, Petra Cortright, Flat Soufflée, Rob Gawthrop, Christopher Gladwin, Laura James & Samuel Rodgers, Maria Minerva, Pete McPartlan, Oneohtrix Point Never, Alex Peverett, and Gillian Wylde.
Artists will interrogate, dismantle, displace, replace and rebuild the tools and contexts of musical performance. From the use of instruments in extended ways, and playful explorations of audio/visual interferences, to work that abandons precision to embrace 'shoddiness', the exhibition brings together the slick and the shabby, the engineered and the experimental.
