Viscera at Battery Townsley
Green Sound revisits the historic WWII site on the stunning Marin Headlands hillside overlooking the majestic Pacific for the second of two shows. Curator Jorge Bachmann takes you inside the belly of the cavernous Battery, built inside an artificial hill that was able to withstand Japanese aerial and naval bombardments of the era. Soldiers worked and slept inside the fortified Battery but now the hollowed rooms and spaces echo with reverberance. Sound artists reinterpret the space without electricity and powered amplification.
Japanese artist Takahiro Kawaguchi inhabits the Battery connecting its military past with its environmental future through a sonic environment developed from invented mechanical instruments from altered clock timers and tuning forks.
Artist Raub Roy (HoraFlora) uses the innate windiness of the bunker/tunnel to create wind-powered instruments from old bicycle wheels that have been modified to act as turbines and play sound with various brass instruments (trumpet, French horn, and trombone) spread throughout the performance area.
Artist Jim Haynes builds a series of thermally driven turbines agitating suspended pieces of glass generating a variety of tones and frequencies. The performance includes sheet metal, bells, mallets, bows, battery powered vibration devices and a shortwave radio.
