Ain Bailey responds to fixed notions of gender

The sound artist and DJ presents two new electronic works in London

Responding to a line from Leslie Thornton's 1984 film Peggy And Fred In Hell: The Prologue, The Pitch Sisters aims to question fixed notions of gender. It's one of two extended electronic works sound artist and DJ Ain Bailey will be presenting in London next month. The other, called Super JR, was commissioned by Supernormal and Jupiter Rising festivals, and it’s Bailey’s electroacoustic response to the spaces that played host to her.

Both performances happen at City University of London on 19 November.
