Side One – ‘Spaces’ – an exploration of our everyday surroundings, mundane activities and forgotten objects. Located at Usurp Art, ‘Spaces’ is an inventory into the production of everyday life and an investigation into the infra-ordinary. The recordings document aspects of day to day life in the gallery through experiments in sound.
Side Two – ‘Species’ – an improvised live performance at the Usurp Gallery that concludes the inquiry into the art space as a site for public engagement and community creativity, with an emphasis on collabaration, chance and experimentation.
