Active Crossover began as a residency project Simon Whetham initiated in Tallinn, Estonia in 2009, where he collaborated and shared ideas with a large number artists from various disciplines.

He then formulated a number of methods to continue this artistic exchange, one being the exhibition, which runs at Soundfjord from 11th August to 1st October, and the other being the live events that 'bookend' each exhibition.

For these live events, artists who live in the town or city in which the exhibition is being hosted are invited to perform a current or improvised piece.

The artists then work as pairs, with one beginning, playing a solo piece. the first is then joined by the second for a short collaborative 'crossover' session, and then the first artist ceases playing leaving the second to play their own solo set.
