A new project with Absent but not Forgotten

There seems to be a general consensus that both the number 13 and friday are individually unlucky so together they become disastrous.

Several stories revolve around food and meals in connection to the Friday 13 superstition, so to celebrate the two Friday 13ths in 2013 (13 weeks apart) we are creating 13 meals over 13 weeks each involving the number 13.

curated by Richard Higlett

As part of Cardiff Contemporary, Goat Major Projects will presenting its 7th Project: The Witching Hour. This will feature the creation of a sonique lounge in the Canton based project space. The lounge will be a space to hear a programme of sound art by artists based in Wales in the form of an edited hour of works played as a loop. Spoken word pieces and soundscapes, imaginary places and scenarios are formed through sound, transporting the listener to other realms. The project explores the key themes in contemporary sound art, an artform that exists outside of music and poetry, which could be described as a theatre of frequencies. The title ‘The Witching Hour’ is influenced by the writings of David Toop whose book ‘Haunted Weather’ refers to sound as being uncanny and other worldly.
Opening times:
18.00-20.30 Monday – Friday 10.00 -16.00 Weekends. 26/10 to 11/11.Exhibition continues to 11/11/12
