The Sound of Failure
is
sound art festival based in Sydney, begun in 2007, that
explores notions of organised and indeterminate music/sound/noise as
conceived
and experienced in this, our post-digital era. It is both an inclusive
and
critical exploration of a broad spectrum of audio
experience that includes everything from
experimental cabaret, to
granular synthesis-derived microsound. This year, the Sound of Failure is a multi-sited
event centred around the main performance night at the Factory Theatre
in
Enmore, which will include some big names and some exciting emerging
performers.

8/142 Addison Rd, Marrickville
Curated by Mary Jean Newton
Reverse Garbage has, for the last 30
years, shown what you
can creatively do with discards and offcuts that would otherwise be
condemned to
landfill. Applying the same principle to sound making, these artists
have
constructed audio installations from junk or using principles of reuse
(which will be interspersed amongst the other
'junk').
Some of the
artists include:
- Ian Andrews
- Maria Miranda and
Norie Neumark, 'Still Breathing'
- Subscape Annex (USA)
- Caroline Huf
- Meeray Ghaly
Roccoco Vortex
(solo show)
Opening August 20, August 21-30
Don't Look 2203
419 New Canterbury Rd, Dulwich
Hill
Wade Marynowsky
This exhibition explores 18th century European notions of the automaton, elegance, decadence and how these have filtered down into contemporary Australian kitsch culture.
In the gallery shop front are two spinning Rococo styled and robotic crinolines. The robotic stands spin as if they are in continual dance. The spin position coordinates are sent wirelessly to a computer which translates this movement into audio and video. The work questions Australia's, and other countries, continuous obsession with identity, antiquity, and bourgeoisie society.
