I'm organising this art installation in Peckham in July which will hopefully be of interest to SE1 readers. It's free entry. The gallery is just underneath Peckham Rye BR station.

On three sultry nights in July, the sepulchral vault of Peckham's underground venue The Sassoon Gallery will reverberate to the eerily melancholic strains of the infamous Gas Organ. The Gas Organ is a fabulous musical instrument, able to play itself, or be controlled or played remotely.

Constructed from freely available plumbing, electrical and laboratory components, the Gas Organ is a fusion of Art, Science and Engineering, beautiful in its clinical appearance and mesmerising in its auditory effect. Witnesses of the event have their credulity challenged as they view the ephemeral chaotic turbulence of a flame producing such incredible range and depth of sound; how can a science lab experiment evoke such an emotional response as this? I am watching this, but I don't believe it.

We're looking for any journalists from the local press who would be interested in writing about this exhibition. Please contact me for more information: lorraine.liyanage@experiment1.co.uk

I hope to see you there!]]> Chatter http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/2/72268/72268#msg-72268 Thu, 07 Jun 2007 14:54:36 +0000
