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. 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 a 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.
