FOLD Gallery | London is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Una Knox, curated by Erica Shiozaki.

In filmmaking, room tone is the ‘silence’ recorded at a location or space. This silence is distinct, a presence created by the space boundaries – walls, ceiling, floor and other objects in the room, in relation to a microphone.

Knox’s research-based practice encompasses various media, including moving image, print and performance. For this exhibition, Knox’s works explore architecture through sound, incorporating thoughts on technologies, voice, fiction and historical events. Within a tropical landscape a speech pathologist, working with the human body as acoustic space, uses voice to sound out and understand the surrounding inner and outer atmospheres.

Una Knox is an artist based in London, UK, originally from Vancouver, Canada. Knox’s work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge, Cell Project Space, London; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Postmaster Gallery, NYC, NY; Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver; Transmission Gallery, Glasgow and Cornerhouse Gallery, Manchester. She is the recipient of The Red Mansion Art Prize, BC Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts grants.
