4 Sept
Museums Sheffield invites Sheffield Hallam University staff to the launch of:
Inside the Circle of Fire: A Sheffield Sound Map
Thursday 12 September, 6-8pm Millennium Gallery
From making childhood recordings of birdsong in his garden, to co-founding electronic pioneers Cabaret Voltaire, and his work as one of the UK’s pre-eminent sound recordists, Sheffield-born Chris Watson has had an enduring fascination with sound.
In this ambitious new exhibition, Chris will transform the Millennium Gallery into an immersive ‘sound map’ of Sheffield, charting its boundaries on the edge of the Peak and travelling its waterways to the bustling heart of the city. By truly hearing the sounds of the city, perhaps for the first time, we hope that visitors will gain a new perspective on Sheffield in 2013.
RSVP: Chris Harvey 0114 278 2664 or rsvp@museums-sheffield.org.uk
This invitation admits up to 4 guests
Exhibition continues until 23 February 2014 – museums-sheffield.org.uk
