Mechanical Hymns
by Anju Singh
July 15th-18th, noon onwards *with artist talk July 17th, 6pm
LSPU Hall Second Space
Mechanical Hymns is a project that repurposes machines and mechanical elements into instruments, sound sculptures, and interactive installations using machines, industrial materials, and other media.
Mechanical Hymns interrogates our assumptions about the nature of noise, machine sounds, music, and mechanical silence.
Anju Singh is a media artist, composer, musician and sound artist with an interdisciplinary practice that infuses her composing and music work into video art, installation, sound sculpture, theatre, and film forms. She experiments with texture, dynamics, contrast, and articulation in her practice as a multi-instrumentalist, performer, visual artist, illustrator, sculptor, and instrument builder. Anju deconstructs and reanimates materials and plays with dynamics and boundary-stressing elements in her work.
She has toured, and presented her work across Canada, in Europe, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, and the United States and has been commissioned/presented by Two Rivers Gallery, NAISA (New Adventures in Sound Art), VIVO Media Arts Centre, New Music Concerts Toronto, New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA), Vancouver New Music, Canadian League of Composers, Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre, Bard on the Beach, CEM in Saguenay QC, Suoni per il Popolo Festival, Le Vivier, and Continuum Ensemble. Anju plays in a number of bands and has an experimental violin project called The Nausea. Anju also works as a curator and is the Director of independently organized festival Vancouver Noise Fest (12 editions).
