Mark + Laura Cetilia Ryan Connor Robert Crouch Gary James Joynes/Clinker Mimosa|Moize Tu M' Curators: Helen Frosi, France Jobin and Yann Novak Sublimation: An Exercise in the Immersive
Tu M’, 2009
Opening on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 5 pm
Sublimation: An exercise in the Immersive is an exhibition featuring a range of audio-visual works created by eight international artists, curated in response to the concept of the sublime. These works saturates the sonic and visual landscape, drenching and enveloping the audience and must be experienced to be truly understood.
On the opening day of Sublimation: An exercise in the Immersive the exhibition will be complemented by three live performances and an audio screening by ten international artists in the form of immersive sonic environments and contemplative sound sculpture.
The sensory environment of the exhibition, together with the live performances and audio screening, will envelop the audience in both an emotional and visceral experience: drawn equally from sonic and visual spectrums.
Audio Screening in Studio 04 on Saturday, March 3, from noon to 7:30 pm, with Katherine Bennett (US), Celer (Will Long | Danielle Baquet-Long) (US/JP), Stéphane Claude (CA), Heribert Friedl (AT), Scant Intone (Constantine Katsiris) (CA), Robin Parmar (UK/CA/IE), Tomas Phillips | Craig Hilton (US), Tom White (UK)
Live Performances in Studio 01 on Saturday, March 3, from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm (pass required, available at OBORO as of Tuesday, February 28), with Robert Crouch (US), David Kristian (CA), Mimosa|Moize (TW/UK)
