All Seasons in one day (-72c – 230c) by Ben Gwilliam + Seiji Morimoto…..Seiji and Ben have been in residence at 21 Market Place, listening, making and sharing sounds that form from a common interest in small acoustic phenomena. Both Artists employ heating and cooling in their own work and have used this as the starting point for the residency, exploring the changes that happen between states of cold to hot with objects and recordings thereof. Various objects have been collected and used that produce sounds which invite closer listening. These are presented in the basement space as a work in progress. Everyday they will be listening to sounds, changing the space and documenting as they explore new changes in temperature and sounds produced….
