Russell Hart: Vivienne | An Post Gallery
TULCA presents a live electronic sound performance by Russell Hart as part of the 2026 festival programme.
This new work presents samples taken from the jukebox in Vivienne Westwood’s SEX shop boutique which opened on the Kings Road in London in 1974. Sounds, grooves and words contained within this collection of 7” records will be sampled, reworked and represented as a live electronic sound performance - duration twenty minutes (approx) This starting point for this work is the idea that scientifically sound fades into nothingness but metaphorically, it never really stops - it just becomes part of everything.
