BIO ASSEMBLY : Watt Space Gallery

This exhibition showcases 7 artists that challenge our perceptions of landscape, space, ethics and entropy. The artists recreate spaces that respond to four distinct environments, from the tattoo parlour to epic wilderness.

Please join us on Saturday 27th of September (4pm-6pm) for the Artist Launch and on Sunday 28th of September (11:30-1pm) for brunch and a fascinating discussion with New Annual artists who employ structural and sonic material harvested from the environment as a primary medium in their work.

You’ll hear from:

• Martin Koszolko and Max Schleser (Time Traces) who through their audio/visual works invite us on an eco-critical journey backgrounded by the rhythms of nature.

• Diana Chester and Damien Ricketson (Listen to a Starfish) use equipment to capture the conversation and geophony of the land, sea and air.

• Sandy Sanderson with Tim Merrikan (Ampulla of Lorenzini) curates' symbolic ritual, surreal visuals and a visceral composition and asks us to feel the world through its electricity.

• Louisa Magrics (Nestled) employs polyphonic sounds as the mathematical basis for creating woven structures that create sensory environments.

And on Saturday 4th of October come along for a curated tour with Marie Hadley (grey lines, UK), Nikolas Orr and Sarah Hook to uncover the untold art that lives among the streets of Newcastle.
