A new exhibition opening today (Thursday, 3 December) at the John Hansard Gallery is the culmination of a unique collaboration between a world renowned artist, composers, performers and engineers.
The Trembling Line is a collection of works by Aura Satz, exploring acoustics, vibration, sound visualisation and music.
The exhibition is the result of her year as artist-in-residence on campus, funded by The Leverhulme Trust and the University.
Aura worked with Southampton’s department of Music and its Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) to explore different art-forms, acoustics, and technologies – collaborating with composers, performers, acoustic engineers and students.
Professor of Music, Jeanice Brooks, who led the artist-in-residence project comments:
“Aura Satz’s residency at Southampton has provided an exciting way to join art and science, combining old and new musical technologies and fostering innovative exchanges between contrasting disciplines.”
Aura Satz adds:
“It has been an incredible privilege to be able to work with University staff and students over this past year, they have proved extremely generous and open-minded towards the project.”
The Private View for this exhibition is on Saturday 5 December from 13:00 – 15:00, with an introductory talk by the artist from 13:30 – 14:00. All are welcome to attend and entry is free.
