Should a Gardener manifest, observe what gifts the being bestows. Though we do not understand them, they are our guides to this realm.

For LIMINALITY [TEMPORAL IMPRESSIONS] Sculpture propose to project you into a zone part garden, library, filing system and memory. Occupied by geodesic blossom and visiting organic entities tending recombinant physical and audible arrangements. Kinetic, sonic and performative elements will provide temporary conditions amenable to growth.   

Sculpture perform live (July 4) and install newly commissioned work for LIMINALITY [TEMPORAL IMPRESSIONS], the fourth in the series of exhibitions featuring performance, sound architecture, sculptural installations, experimental music and film exploring ideas around time, consciousness and modes of perceived reality.

SHOULD A GARDENER MANIFEST, OBSERVE WHAT GIFTS THE BEING BESTOWS

INSTALLATION PERFORMANCE

2019

Should a Gardener manifest, observe what gifts the being bestows. Though we do not understand them, they are our guides to this realm.

Sculpture is electronic music producer, Dan Hayhurst, and visual artist, Reuben Sutherland, on a freewheeling excursion through temporary forms of digital composition, analogue electronics, comic strips, sci-fi, pop, psychedelia and multisensory perception.

Their A/V performances play with temporal and genre signifiers, transitory possibilities and free association. Sonic artefacts found at the junk strata are manipulated through digital sampling and analogue tape looping. Timestretch until the portal appears. The pre-cinema mechanism of the zoetrope – perceptual slices arranged to convey motion – is updated in a physical-digital hybrid of video camera, turntable and a library of rotary patterns. Projecting geometric designs and absurdist visions in hallucinatory loops and jumps.

Dan Hayhurst’s debut solo LP Critter Party is released September 2, available to pre-order now from LTR Records. The record’s heavy duty tip-on gatefold sleeve is inked by Reuben Sutherland. A metamorphic comic strip, it’s distorted post-criticality narrative possibilities correspond to the sonic properties within.

 

 

Available on 180gm vinyl, housed in a tip-on gatefold sleeve and available exclusively at ltrrecords.com – includes free download and critter sticker.

Critter Party assimilates elements of auto-production, pop, noise, media collage and shape shifting techno, applying these approaches with wilful disregard for structural integrity to a personal take on technological-pastoral psychedelia. Sonically, Critter Party is a meeting of over-amplified space, tape-manipulated acoustic guitar and percussion moiré, fragments of media detritus and electronic sound.

Programme Broadcast on Resonance FM, 18.30 GMT, May 26, 2016.
Repeated 11.00 GMT, May 30.
