Silent Sound in Liverpool. UK.
PERFORMANCE: THURSDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER
EXHIBITION: 15TH SEPTEMBER - 26TH NOVEMBER
Artists Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard invite you to a uniquely immersive
experience which explores the mind's susceptibility to subliminal
suggestion.
In 1865 Victorian performers The Davenport Brothers presented a public
séance from inside their spirit cabinet on the stage of the Small
Concert Hall in St. George’s Hall, Liverpool. Unused for over twenty
years the Hall will reopen for Silent Sound where the artists will
perform on the same stage used by The Davenports.
The evening will be introduced by Doctor of Parapsychology Ciarán
O’Keeffe and will debut a specially commissioned original score written
and performed by Jason Pierce of the band Spiritualized.
The performance takes place during the Liverpool Biennial on Thursday
14th September 2006. For more information regarding obtaining tickets

>From Friday 15th September Silent Sound will feature in the inaugural
programme at Greenland Street, A Foundation's major new contemporary art
space - three former industrial buildings in the heart of Liverpool's
Baltic Triangle which have been transformed into one of the largest and
most challenging exhibition spaces for contemporary art in the country.
An ambisonic audio recording of the live performance created in
collaboration with Arup Acoustics will be incorporated into a
large-scale immersive installation specifically created by the artists
to continue the event's exploration of the mind's potential
receptiveness to suggestion. The recording will be reproduced in the
installation to three-dimensionally reproduce the sound as it was
actually heard in St. George's Hall.
A limited edition signed and numbered Compact Disc recording will be
available from Monday 18th September, with a DVD documentary to follow
in 2007. All graphic design for the project has been executed by Chris
Bigg and Vaughan Oliver at v23.
