THURSDAY 29 AUGUST 2019
6.00 PM Missing Persons Fourth Floor, Nicholas Building 37 Swanston Street, Melbourne Chamber Made Little Operations Development All that you hear is all that is heard, a site specific work composed and presented by The Letter String Quartet and curated by emerging curator Rachael Paintin. Set within the Nicholas Building, All that you hear is all that is heard is an experiment in sound and storytelling. Since the 1920s, the Nicholas building has been a vibrant hub for creative practitioners, makers and designers. Playing with audio and musical illusions and allusions The Letter String Quartet will present interwoven stories and recordings collected from tenants of the building, past and present, in an intimate storytelling circle. Working towards a performative work that seeks to bring people together in an act of listening, All that you hear is all that is heard aims to reinforce the importance of storytelling, connecting and sharing while asserting the need to preserve space for inner city studios. |
