Fabrica

On a jaunt round town today popped into Fabrica, an art gallery in Brighton housed in an old flint church. Forty speakers around the space at torso-height began playing the polyphonic Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis – an amazing sound as you're surrounded by all these voices singing the various parts. It's an installation entitled the Forty Part Motet by the artist Janet Cardiff, who is fascinated by using sound as a spatial form, enabling us to 'climb inside the music'. On until 30th May.
