Aura Satz is a London-based artist whose work encompasses sound, film, performance, and sculpture. Her work centres on a distributed, expanded and dialogical notion of voice. Satz has looked at various sound technologies in order to explore notation systems, code and encryption, and ways in which these might resist standardisation, generating new soundscapes, and in turn new forms of listening and attending to the other. She has performed, exhibited and screened her work nationally and internationally, including Tate Modern, Tate Britain, BFI Southbank, the New York Film Festival, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Hayward Gallery, Sydney Biennale 2016, NTT InterCommunication Center, Tokyo, High Line Art, the Rotterdam Film Festival, MoMA NY, and Sharjah Art Foundation. She has presented solo exhibitions at the Wellcome Collection, London; the Hayward Gallery project space, London; John Hansard Gallery, Southampton; Dallas Contemporary, Texas; George Eastman Museum, Rochester, among others.
In this new commission, visual artist Aura Satz continues her ongoing portraits of listening with percussionist Evelyn Glennie for whom listening is a form of touch engaging all the senses.
