A collective evocation of the air, the very foundation of the pipe organ – Earth Works offers a liberation and extension of the pipe organ’s possibilities. This is whole body listening – an absorbing experience of sound’s tactility and intimacy – from breath-like gestures through to a tectonic, architectural summoning. Robert Curgenven will present the world premiere of a new work for the UQ Art Museum’s recently refurbished grand pipe organ alongside Australian premieres of intricately shimmering works, engulfing the audience in sonic textures.
Following Curgenven's series of sold out shows for AGENESIS with Kat McDowall, at the 2025 Dark Mofo festival – Earth Works will transform the pipe organ at UQ Art Museum, with its 3,283 pipes, into an instrument that breathes at an architectural scale.
