events

The French Artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot has created a unique band made up of 40 zebra finches jamming on electric guitars and other musical instruments. This funky flock will be showcasing at the Barbican, London until 23rd May 2010.

The exhibition is based on the use of rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways. The concept: As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating and unique soundscape.
