 <\/p>\n

From 3rd<\/sup> February until 18th<\/sup> March, SMFA\u2019s Fine Art Lecturer and artist Tim Meacham\u2019s work Eye of the Needle<\/em> is on show at the Hantverk & Found Gallery in Margate.\u00a0 This is part of the offsite programme for Turner Contemporary\u2019s major exhibition Journeys<\/em> with \u2018The Waste Land\u2019<\/em>, which explores the significance of T.S. Eliot\u2019s poem The Waste Land through the visual arts.<\/p>\n

Eye of the Needle<\/em>, made with support from the University of Kent, explores TS Eliot’s relationship with the mechanical sound recording of the gramophone, making particular reference to its role in The Waste Land<\/em> in providing the machine mediated sound track of modernity. The viewer accompanies the needle on its journey across the landscape of a gramophone record. The role of the needle is considered in first embedding sound, through creating the grooves of the record, and then as a \u201crider\u201d travelling across the surface of the disc as it plays. 78-rpm records, made of shellac and slate dust, give something of themselves (dust) in order to release their sound, thus changing the landscape with each play.<\/p>\n

Tim Meacham is an artist who works across media to explore space within the triangulated world of experience between seeing, hearing and touching. SMFA\u2019s Partner and College Liaison Officer, he is currently undertaking a practice based PhD.\u00a0 More info: www.timmeacham.space<\/p>\n
