Internationally celebrated artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller are making their highly anticipated return to Toronto this spring with “Lost in the Memory Palace.”
It’s a selection of seven installations incorporating complex soundtracks, videos, and objects never before seen together in Canada.
The exhibition opens April 6th and runs until August 18th and includes a new work specially created by the pair for the AGO.
The gallery will also install Janet Cardiff’s celebrated soundscape Forty-Part Motet (2001) in the Henry Moore Sculpture Centre. It features 40 mounted audio speakers defining a round space, each one emitting a voice singing Thomas Tallis’s 1573 choral composition “Spem in Alium.” The arrangement of speakers gives participants the chance to explore choral music as they would a sculpture, by listening to it in parts and as a whole.
