For this very spe­cial edi­tion we have invit­ed artists from across Cana­da, the US and Korea to present works that explore ideas of phys­i­cal sound. Through per­for­mances, screen­ings, artist talks and site-spe­cif­ic instal­la­tion we will show­case a broad and inspir­ing range of approach­es and con­cepts that relate to this years theme, keep­ing you sur­prised, engaged and thor­ough­ly stim­u­lat­ed.

Fea­tur­ing phys­i­cal­ly encom­pass­ing works that will; mod­i­fy a venue into a large acoustic instru­ment played by the touch of one artists fin­ger­tips (Ellen Full­man) – sur­round the audi­ence in con­tin­u­ous motion and sound through vis­cer­al dance and cel­lo impro­vi­sa­tions (Okkyung Lee & Michelle Boulé) – change the way that we feel and per­ceive sound and how it moves around & with­in us (Sarah Davachi & Alvin Luci­er) – make inaudi­ble fre­quen­cies in our envi­ron­ment audi­ble and beau­ti­ful (Don­na Legault). To hands-on works that pull, scrape, twist and manip­u­late objects and sounds to gen­er­ate unique­ly tex­tur­al pieces from bom­bas­tic and intense to del­i­cate and sen­su­al (Jason Lescalleet, kiiln, Bur­den), includ­ing exper­i­ments in ampli­fied chem­i­cal reac­tions and phys­i­cal phe­nom­e­na (Erin Sex­ton).
