A NOISY KIND OF RESONANCE

What's On /

It has been established that soundwaves cannot travel in an airtight vacuum, so it is often assumed that sonic energy does not exist in outer space. This assumption is furthered through film and television, which often represent outer space as an empty, still and silent zone. Yet sound existing in space is feasible because not

Four Walls

Stories /

Working closely on common themes to intertwine their visual poetry, Mulder and van Vuuren explore the incapturable essence of memory and experience through a connection to objects, images and the passing of time.

Mark Whalen: Between the Cracks

What's On /

As observed through Mark Whalen’s eyes, the world is a strange and curious place. His paintings, ceramics and sculpture explore darkly comic, elegant tableaux alive with futuristic mini-dramas. Sexual play, arm wrestling competitions, and ominous rituals are the norm. Potted plants, smiley faces, and scientific information vie for our attention: fences and dead-ends abound. He

Dog Show

What's On /

Dogs. Why a show on dogs? What kind of cues does a show centred around dogs send out? Too much potential for cuteness, the vernacular, the sentimental. Too much probability of strained humour – of clichés and corniness. Too much evidence of easy anthropomorphisms as a way of revealing human traits. And yet the representations
