UCL presents Space Tangle, a bold new exhibition by Dr Sarah Fortais for World Space Week.
The exhibition with run from 3rd Oct - 2nd Nov 10am - 6pm at the first floor galleries, Marshgate Building UCL East, 7 Sidings St E20 2AE
Filament Theatre’s sound composition Fragments written by Osnat Schmool, will accompany Sarah Fortais’s Cosmic Debris installation. The work complements Filament’s Choral Theatre piece Earth Makes No Sound (EMNS); a choral song and movement cycle which serves as a love letter to our planet and a warning to humanity. EMNS has been performed in several settings including The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Hull Truck Theatre and at the opening of UCL East (2023) where it was performed on various levels of the building in the shadow of Luke Jerram’s Gaia now permanently displayed in the building
Observing the pollution of space at mankind’s hands chimed in with the essence of EMNS. Osnat has drawn inspiration from Sarah’s beautiful work, deeply connected to community and collective responsibility as well as the data of fragments of satellites, space stations and spaceships, the idea of their continuous motion and their impacts and collisions.
Fragments is performed by Cassiopeia Berkeley-Agyepong, Ryan O’Riordan, Abdul Shyllon and Osnat Schmool with sound production by Tim Burns. Research and development by Sabina Netherclift, Osnat and Ryan.
