In collaboration with the archive and distribution departments of the BFI, Noise of Art has put new music to a range of early European cinema, including the works of Mitchell & Kenyon, recently re-discovered Italian pioneering film and some of the earliest ever shot British film. We have worked with established figures, such as Ralph Koltai CBE and commercial design collective Airside, and on the other end of the spectrum we’ve also pioneered work by up and coming contemporary Britisth, French and German visual artists.
We have worked with a wide variety of visual artsists including Gavin Turk, Stella Vine, Russell Herron, Miss Led, Gareth Bayliss, Schwange, Mark Scott Wood, Overlap, YOUR MUM, Paul Kindersley, Edwina McEachran, Gemma Land, Andrew Hatfield, Matt Gee, Monique Jivram, Reeka Kapoor, Claudia Forsbrey, Francesca Denega, Corinna Spencer, Mark Mothersbaugh (of Devo), Michael Denton, Andy Leuenberger, Tekyes, Funk Cutter, PRICK Image, Strap-on and MOTH, amongst many others.
The events take many forms, from sit down gigs to hands in the air affairs. Or often both at the same time. Here’s a clip from a Noise of Art club night:
