CRiSAP and Sound Arts & Design present
Wednesday February 2, 2.00pm
a talk by 2010 Turner Prize winner
the first Turner Prize for work in sound
Susan Philipsz
The Street Lecture Theatre
London College of Communication
Elephant & Castle, London SE1
Susan Philipsz will talk about the Turner Prize, her recent Artangel piece in the City of London and her Modern Art Oxford commission at the Radcliffe Observatory.
"At the heart of Susan Philipsz's ephemeral installations lie the infinite possibilities of sound to sculpt both the physical experience of space and the intangible recollections of memories."
"The work for which Philipsz was commended, an installation titled "Lowlands," involved recordings of her singing an oft-covered Scottish song, "Lowlands Away," being played by the river Clyde in her native Glasgow. Her plain, natural, casual (i.e., largely untrained) voice seemed to emanate from nowhere and everywhere. It echoed against a massive bridge structure, and mixed in with the sounds of the environment."
"Songs as memorials; the presence of the past in empty spaces"
All staff and students welcome
