Noise Level

12.00 – 14.00      	Performance / sound / music   Noise level

Sound is such an important element in the moving image. I think it is almost true to say there was never a silent film era, from early on live music accompanied images. In advertising terms, sound is a powerful tool ….you can’t sell bacon without the sizzle. Artists have been fascinated either with sound or the absence of sound. This series of works explore just a few of the ways that sound and music are represented and are of course just a starter pack. But the connection with performance is important along with John Cage because although it may not be so evident in the work, Cage has probably had more influence than perhaps any other artist; Cage changed the way we listen.

The strangelove is first edition of an Biennial  artist time based media festival opens with a collaboration with Central Saint Martins. The festival developed from a wish list and proposals from staff at the University that we incorporated into certain themes and ideas. Inevitably as proposals came in the programme altered to accommodate the various talks, discussions and seminars and live performance events. The theme of this festival is the Moving Image. The main programme is listed in the blog, specially designed by Georgia Cranstoun, a GCD student at CSM. The programme on this site are those screenings curated or commissioned by David Gryn and Terry Smith.


We would like to thank all the staff at CSM for their work on making the festival happen and in particular to the events team, Gill Henderson, Laura McNamara and Sarah Campbell. A huge thnaks to Mark Dunhill, Dean of Fine Art for making it happen at CSM and of course the various galleries and lenders; special thanks to Vassiliki Tzanakou and to SHAPE for their curatorial contributions and most of all to the artists who have shown great generosity to allow us to show their work.
