 SHOWCASE OF 25-PIECE GLASS ORCHESTRA INSPIRED BY “MANUFACTURED CITY’ INAUGURATES TEATER EKAMATRA’S RESIDENCY.

Laboratory glassware mounted on copper pipes will take pride of place at renowned sound artist Zul Mahmod’s upcoming exhibition NO SUBSTANCE. The installation, held in Teater Ekamatra’s Greymatter Studio at Aliwal Arts Centre, is a continuation of Zul’s first-phase exhibition at Yeo Workshop in Gillman Barracks earlier this year.

NO SUBSTANCE is the inaugural showcase of Teater Ekamatra’s new two-month artist residency programme, which the company’s artistic director Fared Jainal believes will “expand its theatrical vocabulary” by incorporating new multimedia forms and disciplines.

The exhibition will run from 28 to 30 August 2014, at 28 Aliwal Street, Grey Matter, #02-10. The studio space will be open to the public from noon to 7pm, followed by a presentation with Zul at 8pm each evening.

Admission is free, and tickets are available online at http://nosubstance.peatix.com.
