Fabulous Sound Machines
Imagine ... a world of colour and sound that you can control.
Throughout the summer, Tullie House becomes home to a unique exhibition
that invites visitors to touch, explore and create their own orchestra of
sounds.
Internationally respected artists and musicians from Sweden, France and
the UK have created sculptures that also act as intriguing musical
instruments. Fabulous Sound Machines includes a harp that produces colour
and music, a doorbell 'organ', a harpsichord containing an Aladdin's cave
of objects rather than strings, and much, much more.
All of the individual sound sculptures are framed in a world of colour
created by artist Peter Jones and composers Lawrence Casserley and Simon
Desorgher. Other contributors include Johannes Bergmark, Hugh Davies, Dan
Knight and Will Menter.
Their Past Your Future
Their Past Your Future explores how the Second World War changed the
people and the landscape of the UK forever. At the core of the exhibition
are personal stories that look at how people kept their families safe, how
wartime experiences changed people's lives and how people remember those
they lost. The exhibition explores issues such as commemoration, conflict
and citizenship, while finding out about the events and enduring impact of
the War on the 60th anniversary of its ending. The exhibition will be
accompanied by an extensive series of activities and events.
The exhibition is supported by the Big Lottery Fund and led by the
Imperial War Museum.
