Brick Cassidy & Catherine Hu

Brick Cassidy is a Chicago based artist who constructs images and objects.
Cat Hu is a Singaporean artist working primarily in sculpture and printmedia.

‘Ambience’ in sound design refers to the recorded background noise of any given location, and plays a key role in the pursuit of realism in film. It is a presence deliberately included to make ignoring it possible--white noise to fill dead air.

The more you listen, the louder it gets, shifts attention to the background. The sculptures and paintings draw from some existing forms that share this contradictory status of being very conspicuous yet unmemorable: a massive barn that has become the scenery for a drive, or patterned wallpaper designed to unobtrusively beautify a room.
