Finches

Yes, it's been over a month since I last posted here and there's a ton of important and awesome stuff backlogged in the queue. [Been participating in more than documenting the Zeitgeist of late - which is good, I think.] For now, please enjoy this:



Céleste Boursier-Mougenot at The Barbican, London

Trained as a musician and composer, French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways. His installation for The Curve will take the form of a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other instruments and objects. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape.
