Sunday Mornings with Ceola Tunstall-Behrens
Sunday 17 March 2024, 11.00-13.30

Plaited through Shimmer’s exhibitions in 2024 are events curated by artist Meghan Clarke as part of our Sunday Morning with… event program.

On Sunday 17 March, 2024, CEOLA TUNSTALL-BEHRENS invites you to join her in weaving a sonic installation throughout the building that houses Shimmer. Inspired by the deep listening practice of Pauline Oliveros, Ceola will lead listening and sounding exercises. Through layering with recorded sounds collected from the building at different times, we will intuitively create a live and site specific sonic tapestry with our voices and / or bodies.

SUNDAY MORNINGS WITH... is an event-based project that aims to tease out hidden connections, quiet conversations, and influences ordinarily kept private. Far from articulating artworks through just the verbal, the program aims to create an environment where bodies, materials, ideas, and conversations come together, as a place to seed new ideas for both artistic practices and the community that surround Shimmer.

CEOLA TUNSTALL-BEHRENS Is a multidisciplinary artist based in Rotterdam. Her practice continues to navigate loss and the inevitability of forgetting by preserving people, spaces and moments and bringing them alive in her works. Working across mediums, she creates artworks, installations, performances, workshops and radio broadcasts.

MEGHAN CLARKE is a Scottish artist based in Rotterdam. She works between textiles, text, sound and performance. Her work is concerned with collecting, occupying and rearranging time. Engaging in slow and meticulous processes of undoing and reordering she creates intricate tapestries from found and foraged materials - textiles, text, a cardboard box, a fragment of sound.  Her repetitive processes are a subtle act of defiance, a form of non-productive productivity that elongates the in-between moments, creating time for lingering and uncertainty.
