Correspondences

This event has ended

The Complex, Friday 25th April

Virtuoso pianist, composer and improviser Xenia Pestova Bennett joins forces with acclaimed visual artist Joe Hanly to present a striking interdisciplinary project. Correspondences combines pre-recorded digital audio with live performance featuring piano and toy piano alongside visual elements.

Hanly’s stunning video environments are projected on a series of interconnected monitors, arranged schematically and optionally mounted onto 3D physical objects and large canvas paintings. Pestova Bennett’s live improvisation and performance of pre-composed music interacts with the changing visual environment as she plays with footage of triggered, looped and projected clones of herself, interacting with independently evolving gestural complexity. The two artists combine seemingly disparate elements in novel ways to bring together music and visual art to create unexpected correspondences.
