News / In a Shetland Landscape
A NEW installation that explores Shetland’s landscape through sound and ceramics will open at the Shetland Museum and Archives this weekend.
In a Shetland Landscape will be at Da Gadderie exhibition space between 16 April and 12 June.
It will see ceramic artist Kay Aplin and sound artist Joseph Young come together to create an immersive installation that explores the idea of being involved in the environment, and not just observing it.
The four channel sound installation will showcase the land and sea, while there will also be a series of ceramic panels honouring Shetland’s flora.
Aplin and Young spent August last year based in the Scalloway Booth as they explored Shetland and its walking routes for inspiration.
The installation is influenced by composer and experimentalist John Cage’s seminal work In a Landscape.
After its stint in Lerwick, the display will move to the Ceramic House in Brighton before going on tour in Kent and Medway in October and November.
