Highlight of Past Event
Echo Chamber :
Ilia Rogatchevski & Laura Rogatchevskaia
Exhibition 21 – 29 August 2021
Echo Chamber is a multichannel sound installation that explores the notions of routine and domesticity in times of pandemic. Composed from field recordings created during lockdown walkabouts and the performance of humdrum activities, the work interrogates the role that repetition plays in our everyday lives.
The sound pieces are accompanied by a series of drawings. These works were created in parallel to the recordings and act as a visual anchor to the sound installation. Made with basic materials such as children’s crayons, the drawings depict, in part, portraits of the couple’s daughter, and aim to evoke a sense of the familial by employing everyday pictorial language.
Ilia Rogatchevski & Laura Rogatchevskaia are London-based multidisciplinary artists working within the intersections of sound, performance and visual media. They have exhibited in or performed at various venues in Europe and the UK including Dilston Grove Gallery, SPACE Studios and the Radio Revolten, Dronica and Splice festivals.
For three years (2023 to 2025) now, we have hosted a 4 days placement with Year 2 Arts Management student from Goldsmiths, the University of London. Our organisation is small but we are excited to be able to give some opportunities to young practitioners to observe our unique way of running an art space.
We have launched our YouTube Channel on 18-09-21. There will be interviews with artists and filming during exhibitions set up. Please subscribe!
