Fari Bradley, a prominent UK-based sound artist who is in Dubai for a year as part of the guest artist programme with Tashkeel studio hub has put out an open call for participants in what she is calling “a feral choir”.
It will be an experimental choir of untrained singers, whose profession is connected (on the theoretical side) to the construction industry such as architects, planners or surveyors.
She will be holding workshops at Tashkeel throughout August and September to work towards an installation, which explores the relationship between architectural spaces and sound.
Bradley and Chris Weaver, the other sound aritst who is completing the programme are holding film and discussion programme at Tashkeel in September and as part of this the choir will perform a ‘work-in-progress’ at the gallery itself, with the artists.
If you ask me it sounds like a refreshingly fun and unique experience.
