Feedback Loop
Beginning April 9th, Silence will be locked in a Feedback Loop, a two-month installation and soundscape created in partnership with the University of Guelph’s 2021-2022 Critical Studies In Improvisation class. Feedback Loop begins on Market Day, April 9 at Silence, 46 Essex Street. Doors open at 11:00. Artists from the Critical Studies in Improvisation program present a live collaborative performance at 12:00. We’re living in a circular apocalypse—locked down by the pandemic, let down by political systems and worn down by an army of influencers forecasting the latest end of the world as we know it. Feedback Loop is our take on a society that has changed beyond all recognition—and not in a nice way. Join us as we spin music and art in contemplation of lives lived in continual, universal frustration. We have 200 questions about the future. We don’t have the answers. This is no student revolution. We’re going to improvise. And we want you in the Loop.

Call and Response Art by Frances Hahn & Alisa McRonald
August 3 – 26, 2019 Frances and Alisa have been working on a call and response project for several years. Starting with a succession of two distinct visual pieces and culminating in co-creating several collaborative mixed media pieces. This form is borrowed from music, most notable in historical work songs and originates at its most basic from human communication. It has been used widely by artists as a means of discourse. The artists set out with very few parameters; only that they each respond to the other’s mark making. Sometimes ideas and works in progress are shared, other times final works are revealed as complete. In the final phase this call and response project, they are working back and forth on the same piece, contributing small areas of colour and/or texture at a time. During the course of the project, any sense of linearity has been lost and the pieces…
