Glynn Vivian Art Gallery and Swansea Market, Stall 53-54

Glynn Vivian Art Gallery is delighted to present a new work by Jason&Becky – Eavesdropper.

Created in response to Heather Phillipson’s exhibition Out of this World, together with research into Margaret Watts Hughes’ 1887 invention the ‘Eidophone’ (a device created to visualise the human voice), Eavesdropper explores ideas of conflict and communication through interactivity, sound and visuals.

Heather Phillipson, Out of this World is an Imperial War Museum (IWM) 14-18 NOW Legacy Fund commission in partnership with Glynn Vivian Art Gallery.

This dual-site installation invites viewers to take on an active role in the realisation of the work, and to consider how their presence affects their own experience, as well as the experience of others.

Jason&Becky are collaborative artists based in Swansea, South Wales. Their practice responds to current socio-political conditions using a range of media and experiential formats to immerse participants in ambiguous, individually interpretable spaces. They are continuously looking to discover new ways to creatively engage in the public realm, with a particular interest in working within the ‘no-man’s-land’ between the perceived void of ‘high’ and ‘popular’ culture.

The new commissions are part of ‘We Are All Artists’ supported by the Culture & Tourism Anchor at Swansea Council and funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.

‘We Are All Artists’ is part of Swansea Arts Weekend, taking place across the city 4 – 6 October 2024.
