We were privileged to host an exceptional cross-artform performance by violinist/composer Jane Aubourg on Anita Johnson’s sculpture Play Me Mend Me. This intriguing instrument-sculpture hybrid is crafted from an unfinished violin, a salvaged crutch, a tobacco tin, and a blanket, with strings weaving through its 1.6m length to create three distinct sounding sections.
On 20 July, we were thrilled to host an evening of electronic music and science-inspired poetry, featuring composer Alexis Weaver and poet Dr. Geosmin Turpin. The event showcased how these two art forms can intertwine to express the emotionality and humanity within science.
On 6 July, we were delighted to welcome Laura Altman to Local Edition for a unique performance that showcased her exceptional solo improvisation practices. Based on Gadigal Country in Sydney, Laura navigates through the worlds of improvised, exploratory, and folk music with her intuitive clarinet playing, free improvisation, and song compositions.
