The curator of the second part of the 1^st Warsaw Experiment Studio is Adam Radź, who invited Rie Nakajima and Graham Lambkin to cooperate. The artists will present a situational, 'site-specific' approach to sound at Hashtag Lab on the 11^th of October, 2023 at 8 p.m.

The invited guests are the British multidisciplinary artist Graham Lambkin and the Japanese sculptor Rie Nakajima, who combines architecture and sound. Both of them remain open to randomness in their work, so in the created sound situation, spatial interventions and sounds of third parties do not exclude it, but enrich it. Graham Lambkin will use electroacoustic sound collages from field recordings. Rie Nakajima will highlight connections with Hashtag Lab in this improvisation session, using a combination of various objects with mechanized devices.
