Silence on Loan <\/em>(2019) is an artists\u2019 book published (ISBN: 978-15272-3880-0) in the form of a 10\u201d singled-sided vinyl dub-plate. Cut with a silent groove, this un-recorded silence is held in the Artists\u2019 Book Collection at Winchester School of Art Library and (as required by the Legal Deposit Libraries Act<\/em>, 2003) the six Agency for Legal Deposit Libraries. The \u2018book\u2019 is shelved without the protection of dustcover or sleeve, leaving silence vulnerable to the dust and damage done. Once a year it is taken from the shelf, placed on a turntable, and performed to an audience of listening and non-listening library users. The performance<\/em> is documented in mono on audiocassette; a recording that is kept unheard only to be rewound and recorded over at next year\u2019s performance. <\/p>\n\n\n

Classified as \u2018Reference only\u2019, Silence on Loan<\/em> is held behind the electromagnetic barcodes of library security. However, in 2023, permission was given to sign silence out for the purposes of performance or exhibition, enabling a tour of galleries, libraries, conferences, and garden fetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The first gigs of Silence on Tour<\/em>, included the Unfolding Practice<\/em> conference at LCF\/UAL and Saying Nothing to Say,<\/em> a Wittgenstein inspired symposium in the Philosophy Department of Warwick University. I am delighted to announce that Project DIVFUSE<\/strong> will be the next gig in this [occcasional] world tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For this once [in a while] opportunity, Silence on Loan<\/em> will be broadcast live at the gallery via micro-FM transmission. The performance will be prefaced by the performed text: Withdrawn from Use: for voice, turntable and occasional pause<\/em>. Based on an article published in the Journal of Organised Sound (<\/em>2020), this audio essay* offers a collage of words, imagery, voice, field-recordings, and phone calls. Combining the stage directions of Dylan Thomas, with the poetics of Babbage and Steven Connor and my previous lost and \u2018silent\u2019 works, the essay explores silence, as a potential space and communal act of care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small table exhibition of other \u2018silent\u2019 works, tour ephemera and memorabilia in the form of limited editions and multiples (postcards, zines, badges, posters, etc) will be available for idle browsing and purchase.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As a visual artist working with sound, I am interested in the materiality of sound\u00a0and the loss inherent in the act or recording. This sound-based work appears in audible and less than audible forms, which has included corrected typewriter scores and scripts, failed phonographic objects and the covert weak signals of micro-FM transmissions. This work has been performed, transmitted, heard and unheard across the UK, Europe and Americas. Recent transmissions and exhibitions include\u00a0Harakka Island Radio.<\/em>\u00a0(Finland. 2023),\u00a0The Towards Sound Festival<\/em>. (Berlin, 2022) and\u00a0Helicotrema X<\/em>\u00a0(Festival of Recorded Music). (Museum Punta della Dogana, Venice. 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I received a PhD from the Department of Sculptu<\/em>re at Winchester School of Art in 2003 and am interested in the alternative forms of communication practice-based research affords. I have performed my research as texts at galleries, conferences and symposia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023 I performed the essay,\u00a0Tapping the Air\u00a0<\/em>at the\u00a0Radio Preservation Task Force\u00a0<\/em>conference at the\u00a0Library of Congress<\/em>, Washington. In 2022, the text work, \u2018I am not imagining this\u2026\u2019 was nominated for \u2018Best Imagined Sound\u2019 in\u00a0The Sound of the Year Awards<\/em>. It didn\u2019t win.” – Sebastiane Hegarty<\/p>\n\n\n\n
