This edition of The Conch brings together artists exploring what happens when language, images and technology begin to break down, repeat or behave in unexpected ways.

After each presentation, the audience is invited to respond by sharing their thoughts, questions and reflections.

Jess Heritage

So, just before this begins is a live performance that combines spoken narration with a projected moving image. The artist pauses, repeats and returns to different moments throughout the performance, so that the relationship between the voice and the images is constantly shifting. The work keeps changing and never fully settles into one version.

Harmeet Rahal

Afterprayers is a live sound performance that explores moments of uncertainty, anticipation and confusion. Using an Android phone, an electric guitar and everyday objects, the artist creates a soundtrack that follows unexpected connections and shifting patterns.

Eleanor Arnold

In A Town Can Always Handle Another Good Optometrist, the artist reverses the roles of viewer and viewed by carrying out an eye test on a security camera. Through this performance, the work asks how ways of seeing are shaped by fixed viewpoints, systems of measurement and ideas of progress.

Please note: The event will begin promptly at 7pm.

This event includes flashing and strobing lights, projected moving images and loud sound.
