TarraWarra Biennial 2012: Sonic Spheres
5 August to 9 December 2012
Curator Victoria Lynn

The TarraWarra Museum of Art will present the third iteration of its biennial in an assemblage of contemporary Australian visual artworks engaged with music, sound and voice.
The exhibition will include drawings, musical scores, sculptures made from musical instruments, paintings and video. These works invite us to listen to art, to find new sounds and melodies. Many of the artists will perform live with their art works during the opening weekend of the exhibition.

He is a member of The Charles Ives Singers, who began playing together more than 15 years ago, as well as the experimental free noise ensemble The Donkey’s Tail.
