Murmur - groupshow - Waterside Projectspace - London


Exhibition curated by Eliza Tan

Anita di Bianco, Aoife Collins, Trong G. Nguyen, Kate Pickering, Erika Tan, Tintin Wulia
Performances by Lynn Lu, and Matthew MacKisack with Jeffrey Baker

A low, indistinct and continuous sound, murmuring evokes the telling of stories or rumours that conjure powerful mental pictures. Murmuring otherwise connotes an endless babble of visual and verbal information - the point where language fails and meaning collapses.

Underscoring mechanisms of verbal imagination and visual enactment, linguistic rupture and the dissolution of the image, murmur explores fiction-making as a means by which to critically reorder the data of experience, frameworks of memory and limits of perception.
