Press Release

The works in Relay manifest particular engagements with sound, each work pointing towards a singular, subjective preoccupation and its movement into the world. At the same time, something passes between the works - a relay that occurs when they are brought into proximity.

In the second show, the U.K. premiere of Ed Osborn's installation Swing Set generates a haunted air, as if the actions of the children who once used them continue to stay in place long after they have departed.

Angus Carlyle's text work pushes out into the origins and mechanics of sound transmission, receipt and a wonder that remains undiminished byfactual and scientific expositions of the process.

Giles Drayton's sculpture Index explores the division of our lives by tintinnabulant indicators through the construction of a full-scale church bell composed of over 100 sheets of wood.

Kate Briggs's text work furnishes us with tintinnabulant resonances ranging from the anticipatory plagiary of the bell in dreams where the ringing of alarm clocks both stimulates the sleeper into a dream narrative and provides its finale, to the peculiar fabrication of Pavlov’s use of bells in academic memory.
