The sensation of home

According to the International Migrant Stock 2019 the UN revealed that the number of migrants worldwide has risen by almost a quarter since the beginning of the decade. By 2019, there were 272 million immigrants, 51 million more than in 2010. Over two fifths of all international migrants worldwide in 2019 had been born in Europe (61 million) or in Central and Southern Asia (50 million). So how does this affect the sense of home? Is home where you come from or the place you go? I ask what home means to someone who never lived where one comes from and if home is even a place to locate.

Co.Lab Sound

Artist Open Call: Co.Lab Sound

Co.Lab Sound is an experimental testbed for artists to develop new work and collaborate live. Informed by a long line of experimental music, sound art and performance, these events embrace the processes of improvisation and experimentation to showcase artists expanding the field of sound art and what it means to experience art live.

Performing is inherently participatory, our aim is to develop a new dialogue between the audience and our exhibiting artists, collectives and musicians, by making the audience a part of the making process. We encourage the disruptive, the active and outspoken. Take part, take in and be live.

Phantom Perspectives

Phantom Perspectives explores the relationship between art, science and technology by testing the boundaries of our perspectives. By considering the ocular capacities of the human eye, each artist seeks to tackle perception, whether it is focused on our bodies, our sight, or the walls of the gallery itself.

The multi-disciplinary approach will interrogate our perspectives of reality through an immersive environment. Life is often regimented, controlled and reasonable, bearing the imprint of a socially constructed perspective. Yet, Phantom Perspectives seeks to present the intangible through physical and virtual representations of a new reality that can be attained through the removal of influence.
