Join artist Sarah Rose for an immersive listening experience set in relation to her sound installation, Redolence. Drawing on ideas of deep listening as well as the work of sound artist Mark Peter Wright, Rose invites audiences into a shifting sonic terrain, foregrounding a shared act of correspondence through sound. Deep listening, as developed by pioneering musician and composer Pauline Oliveros, is an ethical and perceptual practice, a way of expanding attention beyond the human.

Sarah Rose explores infrastructures and ecology, focusing on how relations between human and nonhuman life shape their environments. Working with sound, installation and sculpture, her work brings these interactions into perception, attending to how they are sensed, altered, and shared. Her exhibitions include Tramway, Glasgow; V&A Dundee; Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh; Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh; Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow; and Hospitalfield, Arbroath. She has participated in the Kamias Triennial, Manila, Philippines (2020), and the Brent Biennial, London (2022). She has undertaken residencies at Gasworks, Little Sparta, Hospitalfield, the Banff Centre, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, and Northlands Creative. Rose lives in Glasgow and teaches at Edinburgh College of Art, where she is Programme Director in Photography.
