LA2015 Brisbane

Overview

Sound art may be on the fringes of the exhibition world, but Liquid Architecture is one Australian organisation dedicated to creating spaces and sonic encounters that bring the ideas and innovation of the medium to a contemporary art environment.

Over two evenings, LA2015 Brisbane sees the organisation take over the Institute of Modern Art with a program of sonic exploration that critically examines the meaning and place of sound itself. The participating artists use home-made synthesisers, opera, folk music and psychic tests — to name but a few of the diverse methodologies encountered — in response to the organisation’s broader 2015 themes of capitalist surrealism, feminist methodologies and sonic warfare. Their work asks questions about contemporary life and technology, the social implications of capitalist ideology and the pervasiveness of state-corporate eavesdropping.

LA2015 Brisbane runs from 5pm to 9pm on 3 and 4 October at the IMA.
