The Space Between
Kim Walker has been undertaking PhD research exploring intimacy and humour within sound art practice. Not Everything That Can Be Thought Can Be Said is a new stereo sound installation that considers meaning conveyed through intonation, intakes of breath, silences and the vocal gestures that occur around speech.
8 – 15 July 2017, Patriothall Gallery, 48 Hamilton Place, Stockbridge, Edinburgh

Unlocked
The Glenside Hospital Museum of the former Bristol Lunatic Asylum is the setting for a site-specific promenade performance directed by Lily Mcleish. Combining personal accounts from former patients and words found in the archives with perspectives on mental health from today, the performance draws on the conflicting definitions of ‘asylum’ as places of safety and incarceration. Curated by the artist-led group alldaybreakfast.
Saturday 15 July 2017, Glenside Hospital Museum, UWE Campus, Blackberry Hill, Bristol
