Following on from the 'Art and War' series in July/August 2006, Cecilia Wee visits, in person and by proxy, 5 military and industrial sites in Europe to explore their histories, architecture and social impacts. From Orford Ness to Chernobyl, Brutal Aesthetics explores our love/hate relationship with industry and its buildings simultaneously necessary to contemporary society yet deemed brutal, ugly, visually and physically polluting.
Chernobyl, Ukraine
20 years after the largest man-made explosion at Reactor 4 in the Chernobyl power plant in the Ukraine, sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard spent 3 days in the area making sound recordings. Cecilia Wee spoke to him about his trip to the Chernobyl 'Zone of Exclusion'. The recordings he made there contributed to his album '4 Rooms', which is available from the TouchShop
'Brutal Aesthetics histories of 5 industrial sites' will be broadcast on Resonance FM on Mondays from 13th November to 11th December 2006, 16:30-17:00 hrs. For more information see Cecilia Wee's website here
