Sidney Cooper's Living Room

Additional Information

Sidney Cooper’s Living Room (2019) is a surround sound installation created to celebrate the history of the Sidney Cooper Gallery since it was founded 150 years ago. In the small ground floor front room—part of Sidney Cooper’s former home— his living room has been reimagined to form an interactive tableau featuring the recorded voices of people sharing memories and stories about the gallery, its value as an art space in the local community, and Sidney Cooper himself.

Materials: 6 speakers, recorded voices, sound effects, selected artworks and artefacts. 

Commissioned by Sidney Cooper Gallery for Living Sound (Emily Peasgood solo exhibition).
