Sarah Kenchington
Sarah Kenchington builds her mechanical instruments from discarded materials. Bicycle spokes, typewriters, the inner tubes of tractor tyres are combined to create unique musical machines which emit a discordant array of moans, squeaks and chimes. Kenchington’s work offers a
contemporary manifestation of a long history of the artist giving birth to machines (from Leonardo da Vinci, through to Heath Robinson, Jean Tinguely and Michael Landy), yet her machines are anything but automata, remaining fundamentally dependent on an interaction with the human to come to life.
Info
It is hard to believe that this is only our second Tectonics Glasgow as the support and engagement the festival has received from audiences has been remarkable. This year another night has been added (at St Andrew’s in the Square) which encapsulates the spirit of Tectonics: Scotland-based artists, international guests and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform as broad a series of works and sound-worlds that you are not likely to hear anywhere.
