Join us for a night of tectonic noise, as we welcome a collaboration between Dean Ansell & Connor Andree-Evarts in sonic response to Hannah Hallam-Eames' exhibition, 'Time Tunnels'. 

The exhibition invites seismic speculations across millions of years and Earthly evolutions. It's been formed across continents, glaciers and volcanos, Hallam-Eames' ongoing research into unstable terrain and into the minute world of Radiolaria (plankton-like creatures of volcanic adornment). "Waste" marble and aluminium have been cast and collaged into intricate sculptures, and a slow trickle marks life in an ancient, sulfuric cave.

Dean Ansell is a multidisciplinary artist of Melanesian (Rigorabana, Balawaia, Papua Niugini), Maltese, and Anglo-Celtic descent based in Meanjin, Brisbane. His practice connects his cultural heritage to material processes that harness his body and the environment. Spanning installation, soundscape, and embodied performance, Ansell stages ritualistic site-responsive mediations that draw attention to natural systems of transformation. 

Connor Andree-Evarts is a multidisciplinary digital artist based in Meanjin, Brisbane. His practice involves exploiting technological processes which expose the underlying contrast between the fidelity of computers and reality. Employing digital research methods and sonic exploration, his work delves into the dynamics of human-computer relationships, drawing parallels between the constructs of computer and physical objects.

Teaming together for a live sound performance, Ansell and Andree-Evarts will merge ritual performance and sonic experimentation to echo the micro and macro forces of natural systems, creating a sonic environment in response to Hallam-Eames’ exhibition.
