Black Metal Studies
Part of Sonorities Festival Belfast, PS³
Michael Speers and Luciano Maggiore
We're delighted to partner with Sonorities Festival Belfast - a biennial of sound and music, making a joyful commotion in Belfast since 1981 - for this site-responsive performance and installation piece contemplating the kernel of black metal, using voices, electronics and charcoal.
Two scheduled performances on Wednesday 15 April are followed by a public exhibition for the duration of Sonorities festival. The exhibition shows the documentation of the live performances and the physical traces they leave on the space.
Live performance will take place in two parts on Wednesday 15 April inside PS³ with a limited audience inside the gallery. The performance can also be viewed from outside the gallery through the window. The performances will be documented with video and audio, so doors will be closed at the times indicated above to minimise disruption.
PS² is supported by The National Lottery through Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Belfast City Council's Artists' Studio and Makerspace Organisational Grant, Arts & Business NI's Blueprint Investment Grant, and Dormant Assets NI through The National Lottery Community Fund.
