'Acts of Air' invites you to reshape your urban sonic present by enacting 14 sound works directly in urban spaces. Each work proposes a sounding out, a performance, a site specific listening or engagement in the streets, under bridges, by water fountains and extractor fans. They offer a variety of means to explore and interrogate our cities of sound.

While the urban is a seemingly fixed and impermeable place, the urban sonic is in the air, performed and enacted each day as we ride the buses, press the buttons and talk to one another. With these vibrations we can choose to re-voice, re-sound, re-hear and rebuild the urban sonic in new ways."

After a short talk about the exhibition by curator Lisa Hall, 10 participants will each enact one of these 14 artworks outside in their local urban environment, then share their experiences in a group discussion with a wider audience.
Participants will need to have a mobile device with internet and headphones in order to enact the works, or have access to a printer to print one of the scores. Participants are encouraged to read about and select an artwork before the session (http://acts-of-air.crisap.org/artworks.html). Capturing a short documentation "trace" of your enactment is also encouraged (a photo / video / sound) to be able to share with the group.

A wider audience, who are also welcome to enact a work if they would like to, will find out more about the exhibition through the talks and discussion.
