The Silence Between presents Liminal - Chroma: Interaction of Noise

‘THE SILENCE BETWEEN: a series of new exhibitions concerning sound’

LIMINAL CHROMA: INTERACTION OF NOISE

Exhibition: 7-14 September 2013 / Private View: 6 September 2013, 4-6.30pm

Paul Stolper is proud to announce Liminal as the fourth artist in the series ‘The Silence Between’ who present Chroma: Interaction of Noise from 7-14 September 2013. A private view will be held on 6 September from 4-6.30pm.

Chroma: Interaction of Noise evolved out of Liminal’s ongoing interest in the sound of ‘noise’, its implied redundancy within music and its impact on our perception of the environments in which we live. In Chroma: Interaction of Noise, Liminal use the colours of noise: white, grey, pink, purple, blue and brown, to shape our perception of the ‘white box’ of the gallery space.

Liminal is a partnership between architect Frances Crow and sound artist and composer David Prior that they founded together in 2003. Their work focuses on exploring the relationship between sound, space, listening and the environment. It encompasses site-specific interventions and sound walks, gallery installations, performances, research and consultancy as well as sound and music environments for exhibitions.

Their work lies in the space between their respective practices and begins with an aspiration to use sound as a means to articulate space and explore wider questions on the theme of sound and listening and its relationship to culture and the environment. Their most recent projects include Organ of Corti a sonic crystal that sculpts broadband noise to create a shifting sound environment, and Of This Parish, which explores the notion of parish as defined by the earshot of a bell.

Frances Crow is a qualified architect who has worked in practice both in London and Berlin since 1998 following her training at Liverpool John Moore’s University and the Bartlett, University College London. She started her own design practice in 2007, which concentrates on ecological solutions for small-scale projects. Her approach to the process of design is to work at a multi-sensory, micro scale and this preoccupation is continued through liminal by concentrating on the often-overlooked sense of hearing.

David Prior is a composer and sound artist whose work spans compositions for acoustic instruments, live electronics and fixed media as well as radio programmes, sound installations and sound walks. David is Associate Professor in Music and Sound Art at Falmouth University.
