An installation by artist and musician Ross Manning has brought light and sound back to Lismore Regional Gallery after months of closure.

Ross’s touring exhibition Dissonant Rhythms is described as a mesmerising installation of light and sound - and it truly is.

Ross will be giving an online talk tomorrow, Thursday, July 2 at 5.30pm and you can join in via zoom. Click here to join

Ross, a Brisbane-based artist, will discuss his sculptural works, which use everyday materials, like repurposed ceiling fans, fluorescent tubes, and overhead projectors - and he combines them with carefully crafted soundscapes.

Dissonant Rhythms is Ross’s first ever survey exhibition, which premiered at the IMA in 2017.

Ross recently unveiled a major new commission at Carriageworks in Sydney (2016), presented new work at the Shanghai Biennale (2016), and was featured in MCA’s Primavera (2009) and The National. Museum of Contemporary Art, New South Wales (2019).

Over the past decade, Ross has developed what could be described as his own world, animated by light and sound.

Combining choregraphed mechanical movements with gravity, friction, and chance, his works use light, sound and motion to “colonise nearly every surface and wavelength in its vicinity”.

Dissonant Rhythms will be on exhibition in Lismore until August 16.
