SOUND OBJECTS Exhibition, Barrow Sixth Form College.
Oct 2009…Barrow Sixth Form College has an excellent arts department, and we were lucky enough to be able to use a lot of thier facilities during FON 2009. Manchester music boffins Owl Project gave a performance and demonstration of their current I-LOG project, and we installed the first of the Sound Object exhibitions, presenting some examples of packaging-as-editioning , or as a means of combining fine art ideas with musical content. Drawing on the festival bill, the exhibits included Faust’s transparent first lp, John Wall’s Blood-bag sleeve for “hylic”, Matthew Bower’s individually painted boxes, Richard Young’s Sackcloth single bag and PIL’s “Metal Box.”
Thanks to B6FC’s Colin Aldred and Sue Deakin for thier help.
