Stimulus Respond | Chaos December 2011
|
|
In the Chaos issue, artists' group Foreign Investment reflect upon fifteen years of working with gold in projects in Rio de Janeiro, Oslo, Manchester, Deptford and Istanbul. These audio excerpts are from their Tuning-In Op.3 commissioned as part of City in transition during Liverpool's major urban development upheaval in 2006. Foreign Investment collaborated with local street musicians to perform for building site workers, read out megaphoned manifestos on land ownership outside half-finished buildings and toured the streets in a horse and cart performing some of the city's favourite busking songs.

| Artist Chris Watson selects three photographs from his extensive travels to chat with Alan Dunn about perspectives, horizons, timelines and temporal resolution. These three audio excerpts were recorded by Chris at the Kalahari Desert, South Pole and above the Pacific Ocean. |
| Artist Jamie Reid's audio suggestion to accompany the article was any piece of music by Charlie Mingus and here we include the opening speech from Jamie's Ragged Kingdom exhibition in July 2011 by celebrated Navajo artist and educator Dennis Lee Rogers (pictured). |
Stimulus Respond | Captive March 2012
|
|
In the Captive issue, Alan Dunn interviews Ailís Ní Ríain about her work Taken at Clitheroe Castle Keep, Lancashire, in the north west of England. During the 400th anniversary of the Lancashire Witches being held in captivity, the work takes the notion that sounds never fade to create a haunting four-seasons long evocation of isolation and persecution, inviting locals to hum songs of relevance and depth. Below are excerpts from the original composition. |
| Artist Bill Drummond's Curfew Tower in County Antrim has been host to artists' residencies since 1999. This year, Liverpool's Static Gallery are curating the residency programme after condemning all previous artworks to the Tower dungeons. Alan Dunn stayed in the Tower to create new audio works at Static's invitation and below is the first one produced alongside a track nominated by Paul Sullivan. See here for further information. |
