About The Hayward Gallery

Hayward Gallery is the heart of the visual arts at Southbank Centre. In addition to putting on major exhibitions and commissioning new artworks in the gallery, the Hayward also organises projects, installations and talks inside and outside other venues across Southbank Centre. It is the only gallery in the world created in the Brutalist style of architecture – a striking concrete form that Londoners either love or hate. It has hosted striking exhibitions by Antony Gormley, Dan Flavin, Roy Lichtenstein as well as surveys of the Arts Council Collection.

  • Euan MacDonald: Open Tuning at Hayward Gallery

    Art

    14 Jan 2012 to 19 Feb 2012

    Euan MacDonald: Open Tuning, features the recent video 9000 Pieces (2011), which focuses on a piano-testing machine in a Chinese musical instrument factory (the title refers to the number of separate parts in a piano). An exploration of the different meanings of noise, 9,000 Pieces is a sonic tour-de-force that plays with the way we make sense of the world. The show also includes a transcribed 'score' of the testing machine's cacophonous performance. This is played in a special live performance by a half-dozen pianists at the private view. In addition, Open Tuning features MacDonald's 1999 Brakestand, a video loop depicting a 1970s BMW spinning its wheels and burning rubber - the car furiously going nowhere fast while producing a squealing roar that conjures extreme speed.
