The name of this latest Brisbane Powerhouse exhibition does not give much away at all. You can’t build buildings out of liquid, after all.

Liquid Architecture is a sense festival, dealing with sound. It is a festival of listening, of engaging the ear. All of the artists performing in the festival were selected for their ability to listen and to produce beautiful sounds for audiences to listen to.

Arctic Convergence is the name of this year’s Liquid Architecture exhibition, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Sir Douglas Mawson’s famous Antarctic expedition. Over the course of two nights, Philip Samartzis, Douglas Quin, Werner Dafeldecker, Robin Fox, Scott Morrison and Lawrence English will deliver haunting performances that represent their unique interpretations of the Antarctic continent, its residents, landscapes and environments.

Open your ears to the sounds of the icebergs, the sea ice and the glaciers of Antarctica.
