Ultra-Sonic, curated by Joyce Hinterding and David Haines

Exhibition opening: Wednesday, 8 March, 6-8pm

Ultra-Sonic weaves unconventional musical and sonic lines through the flotsam and jetsam of the shipwreck of installation art to create a new territory in an upended world. Peter Blamey, Lichen Kelp, Dylan Martorell, Naomi Oliver, and Kusum Normoyle create musical and non-musical kingdoms in which everything shakes and moves. 

Thursday, 9 March – Saturday, 22 April

20 November 2021

Things have been pretty quiet in 2021 – no surprises there. A revamp of the site has seen the end of the old blog-style news page (something I was never a fan of) replaced with this simpler page. Also, the site now has a dark background, saving some energy and removing the ‘art gallery’ feel of the old white background (another thing I wasn’t keen on).

For now, some of the old blog listings are here.

Not expecting to have any upcoming events until 2022, but then again you never know.
