The Sound Playground is an exciting three-way collaboration between Craft Victoria, Bus Projects and fortyfivedownstairs that features interactive experimental instruments, sound sculptures and sonic installations.
Curated by Amelia Douglas (Bus) and Nella Themelios (CV), The Sound Playground kicks off in a couple of weeks' time from 6-17 July at fortyfivedownstairs.
It's Bus Projects' very first off-site project since the closure of Lt Lonsdale St, so hope you can join us in celebrating the start of a new ride!
Featuring new commissioned works by Rod Cooper, Albert Mishriki & Ros Bandt, Emma Lashmar and Rowan McNaught, the entire exhibition will also be 'played' live by the artists and special guests in a series of extraordinary performances in the gallery.
Works include Sonic portraits of Australian sound artists by Rod Cooper that play on the idea of 'musique concrete', Emma Lashmar's hand-blown glass installation designed to be bowed and plucked, an interactive 'Manifon' (manifold panbalatron) by Rowan McNaught and a series of elaborate music-boxes by Ros Bandt and Albert Mishriki (including their new multi-timbre 'harpy-gurdy').
