Re:New Wallace #9: Ornament and Omission | Matthew Whiteside at R-Space Gallery

Event Details

Presenting composer Matthew Whiteside’s immersive sound installation responding to the Wallace Collection – through its archives as much as its objects, tracing the systems of labour, wealth, and administration that sit beneath the museum’s refinement. The piece turns attention towards those largely absent from its narratives: the workers whose labour underpinned the wealth from which such collections emerged. In bringing together the language of record-keeping with the machinery of production, we invite audiences to listen to what has been seen as significant enough to preserve, and notice what has been excluded from those records.
