'Duet for Town Hall'

Sound intervention

A walkie talkie handset is suspended in the vestibule, broadcasting occasional voices from around the Town Hall. Above statues of Victoria and Albert, and beyond a grate in the high ceiling, a bell waits to chime each hour. The front doors let in sporadic bursts of street noise. The side doors squeak and slam. Between these and other interruptions the vestibule resonates in silent anticipation.

'Duet for Town Hall' is also featured in a series of broadsheets and wooden panels titled
'Conversations with Places 1: Towers and Civic Space'

A series of hand-printed broadsheets referencing work existing elsewhere invite readings as artworks, documentations and proposals. Used as proposals or scores, the broadsheets open up the fictional space of the work inviting action and response.
