This is a unique and exciting opportunity to spend a day creating a new sound work with the artist Anne Hardy in her east London studio. The sound work will become part of her forthcoming exhibition at Common Guild in June 2015. Hardy is known for her haunting photographs of windowless rooms that are in fact makeshift sets, created in her studio and fabricated from material scavenged in the surrounding streets. These rooms have stories to tell of recent human presence which seems littered all around and is yet carefully controlled by the artist in her masterful narrative. On occasion these rooms become installations and most recently these installations have been filled with sound. Hardy has only recently started to work with audio and now she is offering the exceptional chance to become part of making a new work. Hardy recorded an audio track of sounds made by the objects within her solo exhibition at Kunstverein Freiburg in 2014. This work was installed inside the structure in the main hall, and could be heard throughout the show as if someone were inside the structure making the noise. A version of this audio was recently installed in her sculptural installation Two Joined Fields at the Hayward Gallery as part of a special events weekend and then permanently installed in that work for the duration of the exhibition Mirrorcity (2014). Hardy’s first audio work was commissioned by Anne-Marie Watson and Alex McDonald in 2013 for the exhibition House 1 and in December 2014 she had a one-week residency at Modern Art Oxford to develop a live performance related to her sound work. Anne Hardy’s work has been exhibited in the UK and internationally with recent solo exhibitions at Kunstverein Freiburg; Secession Vienna and group exhibitions at The Hayward Gallery London; New Art Gallery Walsall; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London and Barbican Art Gallery, London. In 2011 she was artist in residence at Camden Arts Centre, London.
