Bob Cobbing's work is about the sound of words. He has abstracted language through the physicality of sound. His work involved using a photocopier and is said to be a sort of dance in that words have a physical shape and they move as sound when read aloud in performance hence the title of this exhibition 'Eye Music for Dancing'.
Three artists Anna Barham, Julika Gittner and Heather Phillipson have used Cobbing's work as a starting point for this exhibition and looked at his methods of working to help them in the way they constructed this exhibition.
Having heard some of Cobbing's sound poems read aloud recently I am really looking forward to this.
