A duo performance by long-time collaborators Rie Nakajima and Miki Yui - two artists/composers working at the juncture of sound and sculpture - found objects, toy-instruments playing with small sounds; real sounds playing with acoustic memories.

RIE NAKAJIMA

Rie Nakajima was born in Japan in 1976, and lives and works in London. Nakajima works with installations and performances that produce sound. Her works are most often composed in direct response to unique architectural spaces using a combination of audio materials and found objects. She is the current associate artist at Café OTO, London. Having studied art in her native Japan, he completed a BA in Sculpture at the Chelsea College of Art and Design and an MA in Sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Nakajima has exhibited and performed widely, both in the UK and overseas.

MIKI YUI

Miki Yui was born in 1971 in Tokyo, and has lived and worked in Düsseldorf, Germany since 1994. Yui is an artist and composer who has presented her work in galleries and as soundtracks to theatre/dance performance and film/video productions across Europe and Japan. She has previously collaborated with Rolf Julius, Klaus Dinger (Neu!) and Rie Nakajima.

"Miki Yui´s work deals with the memory of lived events. Focusing in particular on images and sounds, it reveals the trace, or wake, that these leave behind as they fade, after having appeared (in the former case) or been produced (in the latter).“ - Carlo Fossati, director of e/static
