A one day interdiciplinary symposium at the University of Chester where there will be a mixture of paper presentations and installations.
In the Museum of Lost Sounds will be performed alongside a PaR presentation by Helen Newall and myself in answer to a call of work about silence.
“The speaker in Samuel Beckett’s The Unnameable sets as its goal the attainment of a ‘real silence’; a silence which escapes representation altogether. However, it could be said that this quest is doomed from the beginning, because silence is an integral part of the process of representation in a number of art forms; in other words, it could be said that, in a number of disciplines and in a number of ways, silence speaks as expressively as any other means of representation.”
