A pioneering exhibition examining the crossover between the visual and the sonic and their complex relationships to the senses.
Sam Belinfante, winner of the Hayward Touring Curatorial Open 2014, has selected new and existing work, including drawings, sculpture, prints and video, and works in the exhibition range dramatically in duration from less than a second to six hours. Visitors can hear a clap of thunder that has been stretched in duration and aurally dissected, recreated by musicians and morphed back into a thunderclap; eavesdrop on a cabin in a forest and listen to the almost inaudible sound of a dying star.

Saturday 25 April 2015, 11am – 4pm
