United Kingdom
Simon Whetham was born in UK on December 28, 1970. He goes to Nene College, Northampton majoring HND Product Design and have an honours bachelor degree of Industrial Design from University of Wales Institute Cardiff.
For over a decade Simon Whetham has developed a practice of working with found sound as raw material for composition and performance. These are often environmental sounds he has captured employing a variety of methods and techniques, in order to obtain discreet or obscured sonic phenomena. When presenting work in a performance or installation, for him the space and the objects within become instruments to be played.
Composed During a Storm
Solo Exhibition - 22 March – 12 April, 2019
REDBASE Foundation Indonesia
Composed During a Storm transforms the gallery into an immersive refuge of shifting energies, drawing inspiration from William Wordsworth's poem and Yogyakarta's sudden, localized thunderstorms. By bringing the turbulent atmosphere of a storm indoors, the exhibition provides a "shield of tranquility", a contemplative sanctuary where visitors can escape the oppressive heat outside and experience a heightened reality suspended between nature’s raw power and inner stillness.
