Haybatch! Performance Space was founded in 2009 to diversify the range of Appendix programming with a focus on performance art. Haybatch 2010 was curated by Matthew Green, and the current 2011 season is being co-curated by Michael Reinsch and Laura Hughes.
FUTURE DEATH TOLL is currently participating in a group exhibition entitled MIX TAPE, which is taking place at the Tin Sheds Gallery in the University of Sydney, AUSTRALIA. The exhibition runs from June 2nd to 23rd 2011. This show was curated/devised by Lucas Abela and play-stations for the exhibit were constructed by Hirofumi Uchino & Lucas Abela. This exhibition is supported the Australia Council for the Arts.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION: “An exhibition of individual sound works and an interactive sound installation, Mix Tape provides its visitors with tactile playback of a sculptural mass of audiotape. Sound artists from around the world were invited to submit an audiocassette and a balloon. These balloons, with their tape tied to each like a ribbon are filled with helium and released into the ceiling, leaving the tape to unspool as their cassette anchors them to the gallery floor. This forest of exposed audio-tape providing the raw material for an interactive mash up of all the works. You can play these tapes by manually running their magnetic strips across exposed playback heads mounted to play-stations situated throughout the gallery.”
-Lucas Abela

few years ago, historians
were very proud to disco-
ver that they could write
not only the history of
battles, of kings and in-
stitutions but also of
the economy, now they are
all amazed because the
shrewdest among them
learned that it was poss-
ible to write a history
of feelings andthebody.
