Cycles of Brass

Wednesday, July 2, 2014
5:30 pm

Venue: Vane

Cycles of Brass is a dynamic and meditative installation by Attaya Projects, displayed at the DLI Art Gallery in Durham from 28.06.14 to 21.09.14, in conjunction with the Brass Durham International Festival. In this installation, two brass instruments suspended in separate aquariums are exposed to opposite electrochemical processes. Aging the surface of one instrument while restoring that of the other, these processes occurring before our eyes are transformed through digital technology to create an abstract brass soundscape, gently evoking the transient nature of brass music culture throughout history.

Attaya Projects artists Alexander Berman, Lalya Gaye and Filip Strebeyko will talk about the making and meaning of the installation, as well as discuss the use of scientific and engineering processes in the making of artworks. Berman and Strebeyko will be travelling from Gothenburg, Sweden for the installation and for this talk.
