Songs VI is part of an ongoing series of soundworks ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes, in which instances of the lyric ‘golden’ collide to produce condensed audio interludes, at turns joyful, plaintive, and wistful.

Songs VI was created for the Diaspora Pavilion, Venice, 2017, based on fifty tracks nominated by fellow artists and curators. Thanks to: Larry Achiampong, Kat Anderson, Barby Asante, Chi Bagtas, David A. Bailey, Adelaide Bannerman, Sokari Douglas Camp, Libita Clayton, Kimathi Donkor, Ellen Gallagher, Enam Gbewonyo, Nicola Green, Joy Gregory, Melanie Keen, Dave Lewis, Hew Locke, Gabria Lupone, Claire Oboussier, Vong Phaophanit, Khadija Saye, Sunil Shah, Erika Tan, Jessica Taylor, Barbara Walker, Abbas Zahedi.

Songs VI is presented along with other works from the ongoing project, Golden, including Golden Hour, 2006  and two site-specific installations, Untitled (Pavilion) and Untitled (Shower), 2017. Diaspora Pavilion is at Palazzo Pisani Santa Marina, Venice, until 26 November 2017.
