With Hidden Noise: Sculpture, Video and Ventriloquism
Taking Marcel Duchamp and Robert Morris as its point of departure, this exhibition looks at how noise - real or imaginary - animates the sculptural form. It examines the relationship between the framework of the box and that of the television monitor, using 'Stooky Bill', ventriloquist's dummy used by John Logie Baird for early experiments on broadcast television, to bridge the gap. The dummy, in different forms, also plays an important role in the selection, which broadens out into a range of contemporary practice.
To accompany With Hidden Noise, we have arranged the UK premiere of The Inner Voice: Dead Air/You're Good. Leeds at the famous variety theatre and music hall in Leeds.
