Please join us at this free event, open to all, to experience Suki Chan’s new 100 channel sound installation, inspired by Charles Dickens’ novel ‘A Tale of Two Cities’. A Hundred Seas Rising explores how literature might be implicated in the imagination and trajectories of revolutions.
The installation uses the sound of 100 individual voices as a sculptural material, re-imagining Dickens’ revolutionary mob sonically by creating surges of ideological thought that reverberate across the gallery space.
A Hundred Seas Rising is part of RELAY: Contemporary Art in the South East of England commissioned in response to London 2012. This is a partnership project between Aspex, Space, Creative & Cultural Industries Faculty, University of Portsmouth and Quay Arts, Isle of Wight, and continues until 2 September.
