Oskar Fischinger, pioneer of visual sound, pointed to an inherent link between sound, image and the essence of being: “Everything in the world has a spirit which is released by its sound”. The Sound/Image exhibition presents a wide array of such visual, visceral expressions of sound, encapsulating the complex relationships between the sound and the image. More than a dozen artists from diverse backgrounds across the globe present their practices – with shifting conceptional focus. They share an aspiration to ask questions about the rich multi-sensory connections between sound and image, touching on the physical, cultural, and multisensory qualities of sound and image. 

Both sound and image are often social, political, collective and shared experiences  and yet they remain deeply personal. Phenomenologist philosopher, Merleau-Ponty stated that “(..) there is an objective sound which reverberates outside me in the instrument, an atmospheric sound which is between the object and my body, a sound which vibrates in me (..) and finally (..) the highly precise experience of a change permeating my whole body” (Merleau-Ponty, 1945). Contemporary artists such as Sondra Perry point to the politics of the sound-image, not just of the audible, but also the sounds of silences, the voices that aren’t heard, the stories that are not told. 

From representation through sound and image, spaces and places of belonging, memory, to health, and its grounded-ness in our environment, this exhibition aims to open up a discourse around the points of connections. Represented artists ask a range of pressing questions: How can sounds connect us with our environment and cultural heritage? Can sound and image evoke changing notions of the domestic in the wake of the Internet of Things? How does urban noise affect our health, learning and wellbeing? -and can the sound-image help to raise awareness for such global issues? Cross- and multimodal synergies between sound, image and the tactile are presented to be explored interactively. 

Artists presenting their work share an almost forensic, analytical focus with each other, presenting sound and image as embodied, intersubjective, culturally significant experiences. The body as political, attentive sensory locus operandi remains at the centre of the artworks and their experience. The resulting journey through sound and image invites the audience to reflect, to absorb, to interrogate, and, importantly, to enjoy with all their senses.

OBSERVATIONS

Monday, October 7th, 2024

This exhibition marks the 15 Year Anniversary of eye4change, an award winning charity committed to providing a means of connection and community, for disadvantaged people of all ages, particularly young people. 

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”    – Elliott Erwitt

Observations are images made with mindful attention by young people aged 10-18 from South East London, who have all taken part in a programme of workshops in photography with eye4change.

With raised awareness of the world around them, each young person considers the everyday through new ways of seeing. Noticing things previously unobserved, deepening their connection to places, people and things that give insight into what matters to them most.

Harnessing the power of photography, to improve confidencecommunicationwellbeing and a sense of belonging. See and hear more at www.eye4change.org and London Live interview


Postgrad Show 2024

Wednesday, September 18th, 2024


25 September – 5 October 2024
Private Screening: Tuesday 24 September, 6-9pm 
Stephen Lawrence Gallery and Project Space

Postgrad Show 24 is a showcase of the creative breakthroughs that took place during a year of rigorous exploration and research at University of Greenwich.  Students from MA Digital Arts, MA Design, MA Film & TV Production, MA Media & Creative Cultures, and MA Music & Sound Design, have engaged with a wide spectrum of concepts, technologies, trends, and materials, often blending them in unexpected ways. This year’s cohort is a truly global one, representing diverse backgrounds, nationalities, and perspectives. The students’ varied experiences have enriched their work and gave it real-world relevance; through practice-led research, they have introduced methodologies that push the boundaries of canonical disciplines. 

The show begins with a screening of works by the MA Film Production cohort at Stockwell street Lecture Theatre 4 on Wednesday 18th September, followed by a Music and Sound Design showcase at Bathway Theatre the next day. It culminates with the exhibition of MA Design, MA Digital Arts, MA Music & Sound Design, and MA Film Production  works at the Stephen Lawrence gallery and the Project Space. In its totality, the show stands as proof of the importance of practice-based research and the impact it can bring to the world.

Arthouse 2024 Exhibition

Saturday, June 22nd, 2024

ArtHouse is a diverse and dynamic creative arts programme available exclusively to people accessing Single Homeless Project services. Working with professional artists and facilitators we design and deliver a range of creative courses across a broad range of mediums.

This year’s exhibition showcases fantastic work by Arthouse participants made in collaboration with exciting creative partners including Cass Art, the British Museum and internationally celebrated artist Nick Gentry.

We are excited to present artwork from group-work courses in mediums including sculpture, collage, photography, drama and creative make-up. Through these we have explored themes including ‘Identity’ and ‘Climate’.

We are also pleased to present our ‘Cass Art’s Artists’ section celebrating the 40th anniversary of ‘Cass Art’. This project showcases the fantastic creative talent of Single Homeless project artists selected by the ‘Cass Art’ team to independently create original work for this exhibition.

Led by our passion for equal access to the arts, Arthouse supports creative development and provides a space to share artistic ideas, skills and knowledge. We also build partnerships to increase access to some of London’s most renowned arts and cultural institutions this year these have included the Tate Modern and the Young Vic Theatre.

Our projects encourage participants to embark on the journey towards employment in the creative industries and provide platforms for unique artistic talent that exists across our organisation. Importantly, we also offer the opportunity for therapeutic creative expression and for participants to be part of an innovative creative community.
