Sound installation by Hans Rosenström Voices: Echo Vocal Ensemble Duration 11'40 Unfolding Silence was comssioned by Frieze Sculpture 2023, curated by Fatos Üstek, it was the first sound installation that has been presented in the sculpture exhibition. Nestled within a small grove in the English Gardens the artwork offers an intimate space for listening, a space that invites us to ground ourselves in our bodies yet remain receptive and perceptive to the world around us. Listening is an act of attention and giving attention is essential to our undulating coexistence. Singers: Sally Carr, Sam Cobb, Hilary Cronin, Freddie Crowley, Sarah Latto, Jack Lawrence-Jones, Dan Marles Recording engineer Tom Mungall Recorded in Stoke Newington Methodist Church Postproduction EMS Stockholm Unfolding Silence would not have been possible without the support of FRAME Contemporary Art Finland, The Saastamoinen Foundation and Helsinki Contemporary

London is full of different street singers we usually meet them 'by chance': we pass by, we are attracted, we stop and enjoy, then we leave. But what would it be like if we could record all these different wonderful songs through an audio map? At the same time it's a sustainable audio map, whenever I come across new songs on the streets of London I can record them and upload them to the audio map. As time goes on the map will become richer and richer and when the coverage reaches a certain point, no matter where you go in London, when you open this audio map you will hear someone who has sung here before.

Details: https://www.recordedfields.net/installations/london-open-form-pavilion-of-air/ The London Open Form Pavilion of Air audiowork is a floating roof of sound, triggered by GPS and accessed via a smartphone, headphones and the echoes.xyz app. One of 15 locations in 9 countries in the Open Form Pavilion of Air series, inspired by Polish architects Oskar & Zofia Hansen’s “Open Form” architectural concept, they use sound and site-mapping to offer a playful renewal and reframing of public space as an essential place of engagement for the community. The Pavilion's area takes the form of a 160 x 160 metre arrow pointing west to Ireland & the sunset. Invisibly occupying part of the Gardens, itself once a King’s playground, the work's concept echoes & reframes the fading colonial notion of a "... vast [British] empire on which the sun never sets" (the words of British colonial administrator Earl George Macartney in his "An Account of Ireland in 1773 by a Late Chief Secretary of that Kingdom"). By walking through different zones in the specific area by the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens while using your mobile phone, the Echoes app and headphones, you become a participatory listener producing a composition in real-time. Your navigation creates a unique choreography via GPS, combining and changing sounds mapped in the Gardens through the app. Hear the park and its context become transformed by the many sounds forming this floating acoustic architecture, revealing an immersive, profoundly spatial and physical experience. The Pavilion has no visible presence outside the app and can only be accessed and enjoyed on-site in Kensington Gardens adjacent to the Serpentine Gallery (on the opposite side to the Serpentine Pavilion).
