Throughout the exhibition, Bailey brings together sound and sculpture as means to expand on ideas and techniques of ‘sonic biography’, a generative methodology of sound exploration that the artist has finessed over the years. Presented with the opportunity to occupy several spaces across the site, Bailey has produced a series of works that reflect on the artist’s Jamaican heritage, albeit from the position of someone who has not yet visited the island. The exhibition features collaborations with Elaine Mitchener and Taylor Le Melle and is curated by Hannah Wallis, Wysing’s DASH curator-in-residence.<a href="http://www.wysingartscentre.org/whats_on/exhibitions/ain_bailey_version" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Find out more about the exhibition on our website.</a>Ain Bailey’s exhibition is generously supported by Arts Council England, DASH, The Henry Moore Foundation and The Elephant Trust.
