Abstract

Töne was an international festival of sonic and visual arts that took place at sites of historic and contemporary importance along the Medway river at Chatham in Kent, England from 9th to 22nd June 2014. These included The Historic Dockyard, Gun Wharf, Sun Pier, Amherst Fort and the lightship LV21. The festival received major awards from the University of Kent and Arts Council England: South East, with additional support from Medway and Kent Councils.

I developed the festival over a two year period, in collaboration with Claudia Molitor. We commissioned artists to engage with the maritime context of Chatham and the Medway area, in terms of the physical and social reality of the place, or specific aspects of its past, including its military history. The theme of the event – A Meeting of Sound and Light – highlighted the focus on visual and sonic arts. The curation emphasised practices that navigate spaces, sites and their histories by peeling back the layers of time and space, considering overlooked and subtle phenomena, exploring potential new alignments, and creating powerful resonances. The resulting programming involved twenty artists from countries around Europe, Japan and Australia, who presented works ranging from sculpture, installation and performance, to sound compositions, dance, radio and food art.
