Thur 29th Sept to Sun 2nd Oct
A combination of wearable architecture and sound fashion, this work is a pop-up concept store of garments that accentuate or extend our gestures and posture for listening.
Held in a retail space on the main streets of Newcastle, the store is a stapled-together mixture of conceptual art and warehouse clearance outlet.
Garments for Listening is an installation that combines fashion and sound. whereby fashion as a means of altering gesture and pose is applied to behaviour around sound and public life. It pushes the wearability of sound technology away from gadgets and into fashion structures, and combines it with a healthy dose of philosophy and straight-up cheekiness:
Earrings hung from the ceiling, shoes to accentuate the foetal position in a chair, oversized hood/canopies to disappear into during electronica madness and collars for resting your head on after the aria.
