Sound Proof At the E:vent gallery London
19th April - 11th May 2008. A sound art exhibition focusing on the site of the 2012
London Olympic Games. Six artists have been invited to respond to
the site in the Lower Lea Valley and to the wider issues and debates
surrounding the Olympic project. Using sound materials, drawings and
annotations the participating artists have created audio and visual maps
that preserve observations of transformation. Taking sound as an audio
cartography, Sound Proof forms a unique recording of a neighborhood
that will have completely changed by 2012. The exhibition presents
six, 1-hour, sound recordings assembled into a 6-hour programme,
with an accompanying set of visual maps.
