Volume III, an exhibition of developments in contemporary sound and audiovisual practices, runs in Dublin throughout September.

The show brings together the work of artists who often work collaboratively to generate sound works from research and experimentation. Featuring installation, performance, film and off-site intervention, the exhibition emphasises the diverse practices of artists who create new systems of generating sound and audiovisual works.

For Volume III, composer Ricardo Climent exhibits his Microbial Fuel Cell (MCF) sonic installation, entitled Oxidising the Spectrum. Climent’s installation explores the possibilities of microbial electrochemistry in the compositional environment.

The exhibition also includes installations by Irish composers Barbara Ellison, Cliona Harmey, and Alex McMahon together with performances by artists from Ireland, the UK, Austria and New Zealand.

The exhibition runs from 8 September to 7 October 2006 in Dublin’s Temple Bar Gallery, with a live performance by Ricardo Climent on Saturday 9 September. See Calendar for details.
