Jack Rollo is one half of Time is Away, a duo (with Elaine Tierney) working across radio, research and site-specific sound-works. Over twelve years as a resident on NTS Radio, both solo and collaboratively, he has combined spoken word, field recordings and music as part of an ongoing reflection on the relationship between time, place and power. As Time is Away, Rollo and Tierney’s recent commissions include the Arts Council England-funded solo exhibition Fable of the Bees (Black Tower Projects, 2020), Prospect Cottage 1989–90 (La Becque, 2020), Countercultural Bohemia as Prefiguration (Repeater Books/ICA, 2021) and Raid on the Medway (TACO!/Estuary Festival, 2021).
