out | side | in is a short piece that is part of What Survives: Sonic residues in breathing buildings at The Performance Space, Cleveland St, Sydney. It runs from the 24th March - 22nd April, opening 6pm Fri 24th March.




Consisting of three major gallery-based sound installations and a program of commissioned works for two sound stations in the building, WHAT SURVIVES explores the real and imagined remnants of human presence in architecture.

The structures we build bear silent witness to our human behaviour — what have the walls, beams and girders absorbed and what sonic secrets can be coaxed back out of them? Does this ephemeral material influence the energy of the spaces we inhabit?

Taking inspiration from Rilke, WHAT SURVIVES conveys the indestructibility of energy and its subsequent transformations and manifestations.

GALLERY ARTISTS: Nigel Helyer, Jodi Rose, Alex Davies
