On view in the Main Gallery of the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art from January 19 to March 2, 2024 is The Noisebau by Puppets Forsaken, an acoustic noise band comprised of David Gifford and Natali Leduc.
The Noisebau, is an interactive and immersive architectural sound envelope that encourages the audience to activate noise generators integrated into the built architecture. The project consists of a series of wooden modules, in angular faceted projections, that have been adapted to the space alongside a video piece of a previous performance the duo conducted for missing old-growth trees in clear-cut areas. Visitors are invited to interact with the sculptures by pushing and pulling levers and cranks.
The Noisebau is driven by invention and ad-hocism, which is the bringing together of objects by necessity, to create new forms and functions deviating from the original purpose and intention of the object’s design.
Puppet Forsaken’s exhibition The Noisebau will be on view in the Main Gallery of the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art from January 19 to March 2, 2024 with an opening reception tentatively scheduled for January 19, 6-8pm with the artists on site.
The Noisebau is co-presented by Inner Fish Performance Co. and the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art in Kelowna.
