Receiver recognises the increasingly vibrant developments within contemporary art practice that uses experimental sound and broadcast, as well as highlighting the renewed importance of these mediums to connect communities in the digital age.
This group exhibition at Focal Point Gallery, Big Screen Southend and Southend Pier brings together four artists who consider sound in relation to innovative technologies, placemaking and environmental concerns. It explores Essex’s historic and current relationship with broadcasting pioneering audio technologies, the movement of people and cultures, and the unique soundscapes of its coastline and estuaries.
