Description

The exhibition Site & Sound invites audiences to consider the importance of listening in cultivating a deeper understanding of the urgent environmental issues facing our planet. Whether it be the roar of bushfires; the creak of fragmenting glaciers; silence where there used to be bird song; or the hum of cicadas, our comprehension of sounds can lead to an intuitive understanding of the ecological issues confronting us. From as early as the 1960s, sound artists have been recording, preserving, and re-interpreting environmental soundscapes. Sound can reveal aspects of our surroundings and interactions between its inhabitants that are either unnoticed or unknowable via other senses-as musician and acoustic ecologist Bernie Krause has noted, 'a picture may be worth a thousand words, but a soundscape is worth a thousand pictures.'Drawn from RMIT University's Sonic Arts Collection-Australia's only dedicated public collection for sound art-many works relate to pressing issues in natural ecology, such as the precious importance of water; polar regions as harbingers of climate change and global warming; and natural disasters and their effect on human populations. Other works consider issues relating to urban, social and cultural ecologies, including Indigenous practices of deep listening; confronting and reimagining the colonisation of Australia; or the calm and chaos of urban environments.Site & Sound draws on diverse histories and current practices to reveal the connections between deep listening, field recording, acoustic ecology, natural science, and spatialised sound in contemporary art. It explores the varied ways that sonic art can constitute an ecological practice and allows us to reconsider the nature of our relationship with, and experience of, our environment.Artists: Steve Adam, Ros Bandt, Leah Barclay, Philip Brophy, Daniel Browning, Paul Carter, Christophe Charles, David Chesworth, Madelynne Cornish, Robert Curgenven, Reuben Derrick, Sarah Edwards, Lawrence English, Nigel Frayne, Susan Frykberg, Amy Hanley, Liquid Architecture, Rachel Meyers, Steaphan Paton, Douglas Quin, Philip Samartzis and Eugene Ughetti, Thembi Soddell, Tina Stefanou, Barry Truax, Chris Watson, and Jana Winderen.
