Sound artist Dan Fox presents Filharmonic (2014) in the historic church of St. Andrew’s in Burton Pedwardine. The work comprises three carbon filmament lightbulbs, and sounds which echo from three carefully positioned hemisperical domes which bounce the sound off the floor and walls. The work was commissioned by the National Trust as part of LUX – a contemporary art festival at Cragside House, Northumberland, and is inspired by the visonary engineer and former Cragside owner Sir William Armstrong and physicist Joseph Swann.
The installation is part of Altered Festival 2015, which brings internationally renowned artists to historic churches across Lincolnshire. The Festival marks the conclusion of Altered: Contemporary Art in Ancient Churches – a pioneering initiative masterminded by partners the University of Lincoln, the Diocese of Lincoln and artsNK – which has for years challenged audiences to view historic church buildings in innovative ways through new artworks.
As part of Altered Dan Fox will be participating in an artists talk at Burton Pedwardine on the 9th May at 2pm. The talk is free to attend and will be open for audience questions. Alongside the Filharmonic piece Fox will also be hosting Sound Walks around St. Andrews on the 8th May 2015, all are welcome. These workshops will allow audience members to record the different sounds of the area and play them back via the Filharmonic device. Each walk lasts roughly an hour and will require attendees to come dressed for weather conditions.
