Luke Aleksandrow: The Break Collection: Sounds of the Tropics

Luke Aleksandrow: The Break Collection: Sounds of the Tropics

23 August — 19 October 2024

NorthSite Contemporary Arts

This iteration of the project breaks from the controlled recording space of the gallery, embedding process and sound within the rainforest. I wanted to embrace my surroundings on Ngadjon-Jii Country in the Atherton Tablelands and let the natural environment shape the soundscape”

In the third instalment of The Break Collection: Sounds of the Tropics, Topaz based artist Luke Aleksandrow presents an installation documenting the breakage of ceramics made by far north Queensland artists within the rainforest soundscape. An accompanying ambient track composed by Tom Allum (WA) in response to the breaks, sounds and silences of Aleksandrow’s recordings is played back into the landscape.

The vinyl record featuring all the recorded ceramic breaks and the ambient track Tension Expanded by Tom Allum can be purchased HERE.

This project was made possible by the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, provided through Regional Arts Australia and administered in Queensland by Flying Arts Alliance. NorthSite Contemporary Arts is assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body. The organisation is also supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
