Ten thousand currents is an installation of paintings and music by Susan Haire and New York composer Stephen Dydo for the magnificent new Walkway Gallery, in Maidstone. Dydo and Haire have developed a progression with the continuum of paintings unfolding its narrative like a gigantic Chinese hand scroll. Dydo’s music, a seven part soundscape, changes as the visitor moves from one painting to the next, walking the length of the gallery, an imposing 30 metres. The works together explore, in a contemporary idiom, the traditional Chinese connection between music and painting. The exhibition will run for six months.
Sponsored by KEF, Maidstone, specialists in loudspeaker engineering and design with an international reputation for audio excellence.
