Listen Club 32: Tansy Spinks 'Art and Music: making heads and tails of it…'

About Listen Club 32: Tansy Spinks 'Art and Music: making heads and tails of it…'

Doors: 7pm. Event starts 7.30pm

Tansy’s listening session will explore personal revelations and intersections between art and music and include some examples of her own sound art practice. These interfaces will be drawn from many sources: the art school, musique concrète, composers such as Messiaen and Britten, innovators like Cardew and Oliveros, and the wide reach of Fluxus Art to the contemporary, live improvisation scene.

Artist and violinist Tansy Spinks works across sound art, performance, live improvisation, photography and video, exploring her practice from a studio in Brixton, South London. Her research focuses on materiality and association, visual score-making, sound walking, the everyday object and site-related sound as a live, performative practice. She has exhibited and performed widely at venues such as Tate, the V&A, Cafe Oto, and the ICA. With a PhD from CRiSAP at LCC (UAL), an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art, and a Fine Art degree from Leeds Polytechnic, she is also a Licentiate of the Guildhall School of Music, London, and co-curates The Sound Bureau. Additionally, she lectures in Fine Art.

About Listen Club

A programme of unusual sound-works, soundscape composition, and music from the present and the past, chosen by Sound Art Brighton artists and invited guests.

Listen club is all about coming together to listen to music with the possibility of sharing impressions and casual discussion afterwards. Listen Club hopes to provide a counterpoint to the quick paced personal consumption of music with a more patient shared experience; a deep listen, together, in order to foster community.

Curators will guide the experience - briefly discussing the details of the selections and providing background on the music and artists chosen. We aim to present a variety of styles and listening experiences that may include anything from long duration singular sound works to a series of work on a particular theme. On average we will listen together for 45min to an hour, with time for discussion and conversation afterwards. 

Once a month, 7-9pm, at The Rose Hill
