BOOM lingers its sinister shadow over the simpering water of the canal, the scratched fibreglass contains a fury of light and sound.
3M present a spectacle of disorientation as they perform homage to Xenakis' phantasmagoric Polytopes.
Cosmogonies in marine urbanology and light.
The Xenakis' Polytopes happened in the Baths of Cluny, ancient thermal baths in France. For 3M, it's all happening on the sweet juncture of Maryhill, Possil and Firhill. Where the best people are.
An immersive interaction between mirror, light and sound much like Xenakis' original but improved for Glasgow.
​
The implementation of ideas from Xenakis' Polytopes on an existing vessel moored in town provides a site-specific opportunity for the artists to experiment with their electronic work and the boat's surroundings. Laurie lives aboard and has been chatting to everyone who passes and he thinks the people he's spoken to will love this sort of thing. Grandiose spectacle on a very unusual new addition to the area.
​
*UPDATE TO THIS EVENT*
Booking is now required for the performance. The artists have had to adapt due to rain posing a risk to their equipment. Book a 30 minute slot to see the show - which has moved from outdoor to a more enclosed but ventilated, covered area.
