William Furlong

South London Gallery SLG, London

To Hear Yourself as Others Hear You. In this new work created for SLG, the voices heard are drawn from the past 30 years of Audio Arts. Resonant fragments of sentences, words, hesitations, the said and the unsaid, uhms and ahs are mapped and choreographed into the gallery. The sounds are heard from 32 speakers installed just above head height on a tracery of taut wires stretched across and along the gallery.

TO HEAR YOURSELF AS OTHERS HEAR YOU

In this new work created for SLG, the voices heard are drawn from the past 30 years of Audio Arts. Resonant fragments of sentences, words, hesitations, the said and the unsaid, uhms and ahs are mapped and choreographed into the gallery. The sounds are heard from 32 speakers installed just above head height on a tracery of taut wires stretched across and along the gallery. The voices and sounds heard will encourage movement around the gallery as particular auditory focuses will occur in different parts of the space.

Come and See is a further work, installed in the entrance to the gallery, which through voice recording explores local issues, ideas, identity and preoccupation, constructed from the words and sounds of Camberwell and Peckham residents. From school children to picketing firemen and market stall holders a diverse range of opinions and experiences are documented.

In this new solo exhibition William Furlong has used primary and incidental sounds from the Audio Arts' archive to create a chorus of audible incidents, pauses and traces in choreographed sequences for an installation spanning the gallery. The ebb and flow of voices around the gallery creates a constantly shifting acoustic environment, which requires the visitor to move under a taut network of wires and speakers situated just above head height.

Alongside this major installation Furlong will be presenting a new commission especially made for the South London Gallery collection and funded by the Contemporary Arts Society. Taking the local area and its inhabitants as a theme, Furlong will be interviewing residents of Camberwell and Peckham, juxtaposing their views and attitudes towards South London.

Since 1973 William Furlong has been producing Audio Arts Magazine on cassette, which he describes as, "a primary medium and space for the articulation and dissemination of debate, theory and practice in relation to contemporary art." Over some 30 years Audio Arts has become an unprecedented archive of recordings made with over 300 of the best known contemporary artists, musicians, curators and critics, from Andy Warhol to Tracey Emin, Liam Gillick, Anish Kapoor, Joseph Beuys, Gilbert & George, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Matthew Collings to Yoko Ono.
