One
of the most remote places in South East England, the
Isle of Grain is an eerie mix of post-industrial brownfield
spaces,
abandoned
wartime architecture and sites of special scientific
interest. Eschewing
visual interruptions to this stunning setting, GRAIN
seeks to heighten the viewers' experiences of moving
through the landscape using sound only.
|
|
On
22 September, as day turns to dusk, the new commissions
will be broadcast alongside existing sound works to
explore differing notions of landscape, reflecting on
the conflicting perceptions of the ‘rural’
that often exist within the popular imagination.
