Arts House Presents SPECTRAL Installation Series

Arts House has built a new transmission of Spectral - a series of immersive installations and performances that dive into the interruptions created when sound and light collide.

After the resounding success of the 2019 Spectral premiere, this dynamic project returns to offer audiences the chance to experience the phenomena of light and sound in a variety of forms.

Arts House Artistic Director, Emily Sexton says, "All the works in Spectral demand to be experienced - they will capture the mind and mesmerize our aural and visual senses. We will entertain audiences at our free exhibitions and installations as well as our entrancing gig that won't be quickly forgotten."

As part of his widely-acclaimed power of one series, Japanese artist: Shohei Fujimoto will premiere #distortion - a new 3D illumination commission for Spectral alongside two other recent hypnotic and transporting works: #point and #surface / test pattern 2.
Riddled with surprises within the confines of the Arts House lift, Sydney-based artist: Del Lumanta will redeem Muzak with an unexpected cozy elevator-based sound installation: Wallpaper III & IV.

Spectral will climax with Spectral: Live - a riveting one-night only gig that that brings together House of Vnholy, Robert Curgenven with Kat McDowall and Sui Zhen making this a global bill of artists who offer unique sound and light offerings.
Known for their transcendent events that sculpt light, video and sound, Melbourne-based experimental art collective: House of Vnholy will lead audiences down a strange experiential rabbit hole as they adapt SEER, which premiered in 2018 at Next Wave.

Ireland-based, Australian-born artist: Robert Curgenven and Kat McDowall have created AGENESIS - a sound and light work that emphasises peoples embodied responses to sound.

Drawing on influences as broad as Sade, early 80s electronic music to bossa nova and synth, Sui Zhen's work explores themes of identity, avatars as well as digital and virtual life - it's a surreal, electronic sound with a dreamlike quality that is often described as vivid and ethereal.
Spectral: Live will be an energising finale to a week that emphasises how art can alter the senses through the visceral interface between sound and light.
