Curatorial Statement

The Tensile project is a set series of 6 releases. Each release will be a curated compilation of sound and video artists, invited to collaborate in the production of a double CD, one CD for sound work, the other for video. An 8 or 16 page booklet, including written text and images, will accompany each double CD release.

The thematic foundation for the Tensile project is that of unrealized architectures; each compilation will explore ideas about theoretical architecture, such as escape structures or trans-architectures. Many of these curated projects have and will be shown in galleries, museums and festivals.

Thanks for this series goes out to all at Archigram , Hollein, Soleri, Hadid and Liebskind amongst many others.

'Scalene' is the first project of the Tensile series.
