NO SCREENING

13 May 2016

East Anglia Records and Sounds Like come together in response to Martine Syms: Fact & Trouble to explore the artist’s interest in physical gestures used within American media as expressions of identity.  NO SCREENING gives a curated selection of artists the opportunity to create sonic works that are performed and heard in darkness.

Questioning the primacy of the s(cr)een and giving up the necessity of viewing, this event is an opportunity to explore the resonances of sonic experience and storytelling.
