Matthew Bournes Swan Lake

Matthew Bourne's 'Swan Lake'
Bradford Alhambra, March, 2010.

A compelling avant garde representation of the classic ballet swan lake. This beautiful production has clearer made Bourne for what he is. The 'damien hirst' of the dance world. Placing contemporary dance of this prestige on the map.

Ron Nudeck i mean Mueck

'Spooning Couple'

The hyperrealistic sculpture is potentially one of the most disturbing things ive seen in a while. The sheer scale of the piece reinforces this perhaps because it is so small yet looks real.

The attention to detail and the impecible technical ability is outstanding and somewhat needs to be this way in order for the piece to work.

The disturbing realism of the piece is something i can only describe as the uncanny. Mueck appears to be the cultivator of the notion of the uncanny here as the scuplture are life like just not life-size.

Room Mode

Three immersive installations that mark Dean Clough's first engagement with 'Sound Art'. Angie Atmadjaja, Theo Burt and Peter Worth present interactions between space, sound and light in isolated spaces around Dean Clough. Multi-channel sound, video, light tubes and computers all play their part in three very different explorations of formal structures and perceptual phenomena. Supported by Arts Council England.

Angie Atmadjaja: Intrinsic (2008): Sound-responsive light tubes reacting to standing waves made by single loudspeaker. Site-specific, using room acoustics.Theo Burt: Four (2008): Four light and sound emitting panels. Generated patterns of synchronised colour and noise.

Peter Worth: Material (2009): Two-channel synthesised audio and diffused projection. Durations of static timbre with solid colours.Three immersive installations that mark Dean Clough's first engagement with 'Sound Art'.
