Soundlands’ second season launches with Annea Lockwood’s live Piano Burning performance as part of a re-creation of her 60s / 70s Piano Transplant series.
A rare opportunity to see Annea Lockwood perform her seminal 1968 work Piano Burning – at once sound art, performance, music and spectacle. Part of the Soundlands ongoing festival of sound art, Piano Burning is hosted by The Old Goods Yard Artists’ Collective who will also follow the performance with their own artistic responses.
Beyond Repair
As prescribed in Annea Lockwood’s 1969 score, the piano is beyond repair.
