Artist Alan Dunn hosted 5 loud, messy, and energetic tape splicing & looping sessions as part of Rooms to Live in the Trout House Replica space and alongside Van Chan' Arcadia with students from Leeds Beckett University and Manchester Metropolitan University.
Alan Dunn (born Glasgow 1967) studied community and public art at Glasgow School of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago and now lectures in Art & Design at Leeds Beckett University. Based in the Liverpool City Region since 1995, Dunn develops large-scale projects for the public realm, from the Bellgrove Station Billboard Project (Glasgow), through RAY + JULIE (public artwork with Brigitte Jurack, Liverpool) and tenantspin, a community-led Internet TV Channel developed with FACT, Superflex and city-wide high-rise tenants.
In 2012 he was nominated for the Liverpool Art Prize and he is currently collaborating with Bluecoat and Belong on a four-year project introducing contemporary sound art into dementia care homes. Dunn runs the sound art label cantaudio and is co-founder of Alternator Studio & Project Space in Birkenhead. In 2016 he began his FOUR WORDS series of projects that bring together artists and members of the public in composing FOUR WORDS around specific themes to present to new audiences via electronic billboards, publications, TV adverts or, as with the recent FOUR WORDS: WIRRAL, a new Augmented Reality website for mobile phones.
