Now Playing! Motor Music

Join international artists Rie Nakajima and Pierre Berthet to make your own moving sound sculpture out of metal, wood, shells, plastic materials and household items. We'll play them together, improvise, watch and listen. Bring along a household object from home to experiment with if you would like to!

For Children and Young People ages 8 - 14. Tickets: £3 per child. Pop into any Library to Book Your Spot. 1 parent or carer per child is welcome to join free of charge.

Rie Nakajima is a sculptor based in London. She creates sounds using a combination of motorised devices and everyday objects in installations and performances. Her art is between sculpture and music with improvisation at the heart of it.

Pierre Berthet is a musician based in Belgium. He builds sculptural sound objects and installations made from steel, plastic, water, motors, vacuum cleaners and other items and has presented them in exhibitions and performances across music venues, festivals, galleries and other outdoor venues.
