Together with Ali and esteemed musician and composer Mat Watson, we invite you to join us for 'Social', an installation of sound, object and live performance for one night only in connection with her residency project Campus: A study of educational, domestic, and deep dark space (In perpetual flux), 2022.
The performance activates the space as a strange, other-worldly site for nostalgia, a living, breathing version of McCann's photographs. It reveals her search through the shape-shifting tendencies of apophenia and binds the audience's experience of nostalgia together as a sort of collective unconscious.
“I’m excited to soon be staging SOCIAL, a collaboration with my longtime pal, esteemed musician and composer Mat Watson. Mat’s hypnotic synth score forms the sonic bedrock of a 10-minute performance exploring the possible parallels between the unknown forces of dark matter and adolescent energy. ”
Join us for drinks from 6:30 pm. Performances will run from approx. 6:40 pm until 8:30 pm, with short intermissions throughout. Entry to the gallery/performance space will be via the rear for this special one-night-only event. Our ushers will direct you.
