PREVIOUS EXHIBITION:

Angell Gallery
Toronto, ON
August 25th, 2011. 6-9PM
August 27th, 2011. 1-4PM

Angell Gallery will host two performances of a new installation project developed in collaboration with Ashleigh Semkiw and Patricia O'Connor.

"Siren" is a performative sculpture which responds to the voice of singer Ashleigh Semkiw, as well as surrounding spectators. A vast plot of white silk pours out in all directions from the singer's dress, held up at various points by coloured strings. As the performer sings, the strings spin and tug on the silk, creating choppy waves in the fabric. Each string responds to a different range of frequencies in the human vocal range, making each performance a unique choreography of voice.

An earlier version of this project was first exhibited at Spoke Club in 2010, curated by Natalie MacNamara of O'Born Contemporary.

The first performance will be held August 25th, 2011, from 6PM - 9PM, coinciding with Angell Gallery's Alex McLeod exhibition opening.

The second performance will be held August 27th, 2011, from 1PM - 4PM.
