Aeriology, Joyce Hinterding, 1997 (photo Ian Hobbs)

Enter an art gallery transformed into a giant radio antenna with 20 kilometres of copper wire.

Joyce Hinterding is an Australian artist who is fascinated by energy and sound, things we can't see but which pervade our lives. These invisible things she strives to make visible. One of her best known pieces, Aeriology, explores these forces that inhabit the air. Recreated in Sunderland, it will involve wrapping the Reg Vardy Gallery in at least 20 kilometres of copper wire, turning it into a beautiful, walk-in radio antenna which will listen to what is going on in the atmosphere outside. The gallery will, essentially, become an energy gatherer, enabling us to hear what would normally escape us.

On Saturday 8th March, there will be a Walk & Talk through the exhibition with curator Rob Blackson

Hinterding has worked and exhibited all over the world. You can find out more about her work via Sun Valley Research
