Liquid Architecture Singapore 2014

Liquid Architecture Singapore 2014 will consist of a program of lectures, performances, presentations, a sound installation and discussion addressing the theme ‘The Ear is a Brain: Sound Beyond Sound’. The program explores the overlap between the lecture and the ‘sound artwork’ as contingent methodologies. It focuses on the core similarities between the two ‘mediums’, namely the production of a very specific listening subject. The program will feature ‘traditional’ modes of lecture presentations alongside ‘experimental’ lecture-performances by leading artists who work with sound, language and voice. The curatorial approach is to integrate rather than segregate the two approaches in order to surprise, challenge and confound audience assumptions about ‘how’ we listen to and process different sounds. The festival will also commission a new sound installation that explores the festivals theme. Now in its 15th year as Australia’s premier sound art event, Liquid Architecture will be presented in Singapore for the first time in collaboration with LASALLE College of the Art’s School of Contemporary Music from the Faculty of Performing Arts and the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore. Liquid Architecture Singapore was made possible through the generous funding of LASALLE College of the Arts research funding body, Arts Victoria and the Australia Council.
