Creative Director for Everyman for Themselves, Central Saint Martins Degree Show 2021.

As part of the Central Saint Martins Degree Show 2021, myself and a team of students from BA Culture, Criticism and Curation curated an original, immersive and collaborative art exhibition that brought together the work of emerging sound and video artists in an ambition to explore notions of chance, dissonance and chaos. 

Located at the Everyman Cinema Kings Cross, this ambitious project aimed to dismantle the curator-viewer hierarchy by inviting audiences to curate their own sound experience. Connecting their handheld device with our wireless headphones and scanning a QR on arrival, visitors were invited to curate their own sound experience by streaming a series of curated sound works from Sound Artist Julian Brown. 

In conjunction with sound, the exhibition featured a series of silent video works curated by William Fairbrother showcasing the work of recent UAL graduates and other London based video artists - challenging the traditional relationship between sight and sound. 

Inspired by a combination of John Cage’s chance operations, and the well known theory The Butterfly Effect, Everyman for Themselves invited elements of play, chance and contradiction in an endeavour to highlight the potential of individual agency in a chaotic world - now more unpredictable than ever.
