The Old Operating Theatre Museum hosts Operations of Sound, a sonic  
and visual intervention curated by Inheritance Projects. This  
exhibition and events programme is a site of exploration of the museum  
through contemporary artworks. The installation, video and  
performances create radically different aural and visual contexts  
through which one engages with the museum's architecture and collection.

Installation:
Inheritance has commissioned the new work FLOW by photographer, John  
Wainwright and sound artist, John Wynne. FLOW, a multiscreen video and  
sound installation has been developed specifically for the museum  
using material from the artists? residency at Harefield Hospital. FLOW  
is to be discovered amongst the museum?s collection of surgical  
instruments and material medica in the Herb Garret.

Film Programme: Saturdays from 15.00 ? 17.00
As part of Operations of Sound events programme, Tim Wainwright and  
John Wynne?s video work ITU will be screened with surround sound in  
the tiered operating theatre.

Closing Event: Saturday 15 December 20.00
Operations of Sound closes with commissioned performances by the  
legendary percussionist Charles Hayward (This Heat) and the American  
experimental quartet, GOWNS. Their musical performances are in direct  
response to the environment, addressing the theatricality and delicacy  
of surgical operations. Tickets £8 from www.wegottickets.com

Saturday 1st December
Secs, Emily Wardill
Fulham Palace,  Bishps Avenue,  London SW6 6EA
1 Dec 2007 - 26 Feb 2008
Open Sat 11am - 2pm, Sun 11.30am - 3.30pm, Mon&Tue 12 - 4.


Secs, a 16mm film, draws its inspiration from the English Episcopal  
portraits ? the exalted and conformist painting style and convention,  
evident between 16th and 19th centuries and characterised by strict  
pictorial format and strong iconography. Making use of contemporary  
visual language, Wardill links these recognisable portraits to the  
silhouette image of the anonymous interviewer, as seen on  
investigative television reports, while the narration of the film  
makes a direct reference to coinage and its historical role in  
distributing monarch portraits.
The film is echoed by photographic images of the interviewer(s),  
devised as production stills for the accompanying film, and  
intensifies the enigmatic nature of both the anonymity of the  
interviewer and the unfathomable characteristics of the actual film.
