Matt’s Gallery
Oct 15th – Nov 28th 2021
Offsite at United States Embassy, Nine Elms + online at mattsgallery.org

Sited at the boundary line of the U.S. Embassy in Nine Elms, Wandsworth, the installation is comprised of large-scale sculptural elements: a windsock and an anemometer, both tools for measuring wind speed and/or direction, that simultaneously modulate the tempo of a sonic work that can be listened to at mattsgallery.org

Heralding the launch of Matt’s gallery’s new space in Nine Elms Swete Brethe borrows its title from Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue (1387-1400) in which the narrative is established amidst the arrival of the allegorical West Wind. The intangible nature of this invisible force, that can be felt but not seen, provides a means to examine the emblematic power and change to the local ecology that the U.S. Embassy brought with it upon its relocation to Nine Elms in 2017.

Estuary 2021 – No.3 Covered Slip – Chatham Historic Dockyard
May 22nd – Jun 13th 2021

Grain is a 16 channel generative sound installation designed to create a sonic equivalence to the peculiar shifting landscape of the aggregates industry. Here materials formed over millennia, on a gradual passage to the bottom of the ocean, are dredged up and deposited back onto land. Once there they commence a negentropic journey through the construction industry, rising back up into the buildings and architectures that surround us.
