Michael Barrett and shi blank - The Listening Room
Trapezium was pleased to host Michael Barrett and shi blank's project ‘The Listening Room’. Designed to re-centre self-care in a world where fast-paced technological advancements are constantly competing for our attention, their installation consisted of a dome within the Gallery where you could spend an hour just relaxing and listening.
The project also experimented with projections on the walls of the dome to create a comfortable and relaxing space, designed for listening to music and to be inclusive of everyone – especially introverts – a sort of “Anti-disco”.
‘The Listening Room’. was Funded by a research grant from BD25 and Unlimited.
There were three playlists to chose from:
Playlist #1 - Labyrinths
Explore this garden of forking paths with Mike and Ivor Cutler.
Playlist #2 - Conflict
Music from places currently in conflict with Mike and shi.
Playlist #3 - Spiritualized
Relax! with Mike and shi.
