Exchange by Bowditch
Sound composition created from a field recording made in the exhibition space 8 months prior to installation, and accessible by dialling a number found on the exhibition floor. The 'Here' exhibition was curated by Jane Watt and Clare Palmier at Art Station, their repurposed 1950's building previously housing the Post Office and telephone exchange in Saxmundham, Suffolk.
Audience members could phone 03332 470402 (now inactive) to hear the work which was heavily affected by the telephony system. The exhibition ran from 26th June and has been extended until 26th August 2021. More information at Art Station, including a brief interview.
