The Forest of Everything&nbsp;is about collaborating, playing and knowing. Influenced by Orcadian filmmaker and poet Margaret Tait, artist Wendy Kirkup, composer Richy Carey and a group of children played with making sense through play - making, moving, looking and listening with the materials around them, light, water, air, earth and trees. The images and soundtrack are made from the children’s own recordings of their play. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

The forest of everything

Recital is set in those first strange moments of waking up, where certainty and strangeness run in parallel as the mind tries to make sense of what is happening. The fast, complex and unpredictable edit follows the rhythm of an improvised Led Zeppelin drum solo which Forrest tried to teach herself. This relationship between intuition and acquired knowledge becomes the focus of the piece.&nbsp; <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

A love forms an approach to local history unfolding in the artist’s home neighbourhood. The film foregrounds quiet and tender engagement, respect, various forms of love, presence, absence, and ritual. Developed from exploratory research into young death, premature infant death, A love considers ideas around individual and collective loss, grief and value, the desire for recognition of a life and the necessity for communal recognition <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

Elizabeth Junor is a document of research into the historical relationship between Guyana and Scotland and the hidden legacies of a black female diaspora. Through a speculative history and translating from archival materials, the film elaborates on the life of Elizabeth Junor (born 1804) between Essequibo in Guyana and the Black Isle in Scotland. The work deploys voice over, superimposition, frames within frames and onscreen text to highlight the modes of narration by which a life is catalogued. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

Midgie Noise is a mesmeric visual of Scotland’s native midgies. Duncan Marquiss’ work often explores overlaps between the cultural and the biological, and this short piece provides an introduction to some of the ideas he examines more comprehensively in his more recent work. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

Hawthorn, a quiet teenage boy with all the correlating tender attributes, lives in a village on the West Coast of Scotland. The mournful landscapes and whistling wind are interrupted by the blasting dystopic industrial rhythms from Glasgow band, The Modern Institute. The score mirrors Hawthorn's defeated ego in his desperate love for a returning friend, Magnolia. Sorrowful and deeply felt, Hawthorn's lovesickness is Romanticist in colour. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

PR 4 US focuses on the specific yet regular occurrence for Black females of experiencing unwanted approaches in nightclubs and offers a parody of the situation which reverses the power dynamic and reclaims the agency. The work features a racy soundtrack by a number of Glasgow based performers. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

“The Ideal Bar” – “Le Narcisse” – “Alec’s”&nbsp;is a dramatised exchange between two characters in a Glasgow nightclub. It is inspired by a sequence in&nbsp;The Well of Loneliness&nbsp;by Radclyffe Hall in which the central character encounters a repellent reflection of herself in a Parisian gay bar. The two characters are portrayed by performance maker and ogre Sorcha Clelland, and performance artist and music producer TAAHLIAH. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

Patrick is made entirely from 16mm film and sound recordings produced during a residency at Headlands Centre for the Arts, Marin County, California. The film focuses on the life and work of Patrick Cowley; a singular producer of dance music who pioneered the hi-NRG “San Francisco Sound” in the late 1970s. Patrick deploys the methodology of polyvalent editing to create a textured and intimate portrait of Cowley’s brief yet intensely creative life. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

Evolutionary Jerks &amp; Gradualist Creeps sees two evolutionary biologists, Niles Eldredge and Armand Marie Leroi, consider the analogies and differences between the cultural and the biological realms, by comparing the history of life within the fossil record with the evolution of pop music. Duncan Marquiss draws on Eldredge’s pattern of evolution (Punctuated Equilibria) as a cue for image-making processes and editing structures to transpose scientific enquiry into cultural production. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>

Evolutionary Jerks & Gradualist Creeps

between a whisper and a cry seeks to challenge conditions of racialised abjection and find new methods for refusal. Combining the sonic cosmologies found in Kamau Brathwaite’s research on tidalectics with Christina Sharpe’s work on ‘the weather’, the work&nbsp;speaks of memory, trauma, and tensions between land, sea and weather, to reveal the precarity and privilege of geography. <a href="https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://viborgkunsthal.viborg.dk/udstillinger/aktuelle-udstillinger/miraculous-noise-gruppeudstilling</a>
