In 2011, Morley College marked the 75th anniversary of the birth, and 30th of the death, of one of its more influential former tutors, Cornelius Cardew, considered by many as the founder of British experimental music, with a series of courses, events, and exhibitions. As part of this series of events the first Engine Room International Sound Art Exhibition was launched and exhibited at Morley College Gallery during November and December 2011.
the engine room 2011 exhibition included a selection of sound art works by established and emerging artists from across the globe. The works share a common ground in that they have all been inspired in some way by Cornelius Cardew’s music and/or ideologies.
The works programmed in this exhibition were selected from an international call for works which attracted over 50 submissions from over 15 countries and showcased the far-reaching influence that Cardew continues to have on artists working across a diverse range of disciplines and media today.
