Quarr Abbey welcomes a new exhibition this week, running for five days.
‘Fusion’ is a collaborative exhibition in structure and sound, bringing together the predominantly steel forms of sculptor, Ken Prust, and the sounds of audio artist and composer, Tuuligan.
The physical works, large and small, are principally of steel and hardwood native to the Isle of Wight. The soundtrack composed specifically for this collaborative exhibition takes reference from the physicality of the steel, working with it as a sculptural material and the location in which the sculptures are displayed, Quarr Abbey.
Ken’s influences
Ken Prust draws reference from the coastal environment and the objects and structures which either by chance or deliberate action have become embedded within it.
Reconfiguring the familiar the tactile sculptures incorporate echoes of industry, the action of the natural elements and the passing of time.
Tuuligan
The composition of Tuuligan is built on real recordings of the sculptor working the materials in his workshop.
It is complemented with sounds at times akin to music, at times akin to the sounds of the stages of the journey of the materials from the woods and foundries via the sculptor’s workshop to the Abbey.
On for five days
The exhibition runs from Friday 16 October – Tuesday 20 October and is open from 10am to 4:30pm each day.
Admission is free.
