A West Wight visual and sound artist is hosting a new event in a picturesque country church.
Nathan Holt from Freshwater is utilising All Saints’ Church in Calbourne to stage a public immersive sound installation called ’Translating Frequencies:639′.
The installation will take place on Saturday 5th July, from noon to 19:00.
The Translating Frequencies: 639 project explores how people engage with both audible and inaudible frequencies in sacred and architectural space, inviting visitors to engage in deep listening within the historical context of the 800-year-old church.
Nathan said:
“Created as part of my MA Fine Art (Online) final project with Falmouth University, this one-day installation uses sounds captured from the church and its surrounding natural environment, transformed into a deeply atmospheric soundscape inside the 12th-century building.
“Audiences are invited to take time for deep listening and sensory reflection, experiencing both the acoustic character of the church and subtle vibrations within the space.”
Nathan, 48, was 1 of 5 Isle of Wight artists who recently took part in the One Wight Health guerilla toilets initiative, that saw painted toilets placed in iconic locations around the Island to raise awareness of bowel cancer symptoms and testing.
His gold-painted toilet has also recently been seen in the Brookside Health Centre in Freshwater. The Calbourne event is free to attend and is part of the IW Biosphere Festival programme.
The former St Boniface Primary, Ventnor Middle and Sandown High pupil is working in collaboration with Widget Productions, Pete Johnstone (photography), and Prilly Lewis (textile art),
He thanked them and the All Saints’ church team for their support.
