- Stephen Kelly : WaveUp 08/10/24 → 08/11/29
Centre des arts actuels Skol presents a solo exhibition by Halifax-based artist Stephen Kelly. Running from October 24th to November 29th the exhibition’s vernissage will be held on Friday October 24th from 5pm until 9pm.
WaveUp is a kinetic sound installation that translocates a remote ocean environment in real-time within Skol’s gallery space. Outfitted by Kelly with a collection of dynamic speakers, a new sonic environment is created for the gallery through the interpretation of a steady stream of information emitted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada outlying wave data buoys. As ocean waves become sound waves, WaveUp permits the public to access a remote natural environment that would otherwise be inaccessible. Join the artist on Saturday October 25th at 3pm, at Skol, for Open Tuning: Music, Electro-Mechanics, Causality, and FUN where he will present the development of and concepts behind WaveUp. This exhibition is accompanied by a text by artist Peter Flemming.
