Songsmith (Cradle of Humankind) at Cape Town Art Fair, 2017
The final five unique artworks from my Songsmith (Cradle of Humankind) collection will be on exhibition at the Cape Town Art Fair, 2017. Come visit me at the Sulger-Buel Lovell Gallery Booth C6. I'll be exhibiting the largest rock in the collection with its deep and sombre voice. Here's a secret for those of you who are reading this - if you make all five rocks sing at the same time they will resonate harmonically. This is probably the only chance you'll get to experience this before they find their new homes. See you there! Cape Town Art Fair, 17 - 19 February 2017 Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) Friday 17 Feb: 11am - 7pm Saturday 18 Feb: 11am - 7pm Sunday 19 Feb: 11am - 7pm Get your tickets at www.capetownartfair.co.za |

Songsmith (Cradle of Humankind) at FNB Joburg Art Fair, 2016
Songsmith (Cradle of Humankind) will be a Gallery Solo Project this year at FNB Joburg Art Fair, 2016 with Sulger-Buel Lovell Gallery.
9 - 11 September 2016 Songsmith (Cradle of Humankind) repairs ancient, fractured rocks following a method based on the Japanese art and philosophy of Kintsukuroi. By combining this golden repair with technology and sound, songsmith resonate when touched. This allows each rock to sing of the land wherein it has existed for millennium. Their song is generated from the raw electro-magnetic readings captured from beneath each rock’s original resting place in the Cradle of Humankind. Each songsmith acts as a talisman imbued by a place in time, connecting the present with the site’s ancient history as the birthplace of mankind.

Business Day Tv Interview
Business Day TV and I sat down to a short chat for their video series that centers around the world of the arts and in doing so introduces viewers to South African personalities and artists making their mark both locally and abroad. It showcases and assesses various initiatives that have been launched by the private sector and examines the central issues and points of debate that exist around business and the arts. Interesting themes the series addressed are for example, art as a corporate investment; supporting the arts when looking at a project as a social responsibility or a real reward; strategic sponsorship or the "art" of business conversation. |

Bangor Cathedral Songsmith
Listen to Bangor Cathedral Songsmith The walls of the Cathedral are soaked in the prayers and song of the thousands who have visited over the centuries. Although layered with a long and rich history there is a modern vibrancy about the Cathedral that comes from the bustling city center. This story is told by the current Canon, Canon Dr. David Fisher. His voice is stirred into a composition including the Bangor Cathedral Youth Choir, an ancient pontifical that resides inside the Cathedral sung by Joseph Harper, and sounds from the city center. Fittingly this Songsmith repairs a crack found in the Cathedral’s historical boundary wall. It can be found nearby the stepped entrance to the Bangor Cathedral adjacent to a lively pub called The Castle. Contributors: Canon Dr. David Fisher (narrator), Joseph Harper (song), Bangor Cathedral congregation (song), Bangor Cathedral Youth Choir (song), Eve Butler (narrator), June Marshell (narrator). |

Garth Pier Songsmith
Listen to the Garth Pier Songsmith The pier, opened in 1896, is today one of the three finest surviving piers in Great Britain. It was very popular in the past but now it stands in disrepair, facing an uncertain future. The Garth Pier Songsmith sings a song of memories, moments and stories of the characters and events that connect to the pier over time. In many ways the pier is a magical place, a place where the past can be felt in the present. Experiences change on the pier as does the weather, sometimes it’s happy, sometimes its sad, it depends who is coming to the pier and what the pier means to them. It tends to steel your heart either way. This story is composed from Burchell’s encounters with the local store and tea-room keepers on the Pier, the seven past mayors of Bangor City and musicians, composers and singers who’s work has been inspired by the pier. Contributors: John Martin (Mayor of Bangor city 1998/2001), Doug Madge (2006/2013), Doreen Madge, Derek Hainge (1998/2007), Eve Butler (1995/2015), June Marshell (2003), Keith Marshell (1996), Mared Emlyn (harp), Wyn Thomas (narrator), Terry Thomas (narrator, guitar and song), Caenwen (narrator), Hedd Thomas (Composer Si hei lwli’ mabi), Bangor University Chamber Choir (song). |

Bangor University Songsmith
Listen here: Bangor University Songsmith These were no ordinary men; among them, despite their circumstance, they formed choirs and became poets, musicians and writers. The story is told through a child of the miners, the Welsh actor John Ogwen, university composers and musicians, the Penrhyn Male Voice Choir, and current Music Lecturer Wyn Thomas. To this day the city’s life pulse is inextricably entwined with the university and in turn with music, poetry and writers; a true testimony to this kind act in a time of hardship. It is also a reminder of the power of how a small gesture, done by a few, can change the course of the future a hundred years later. Audio Contributors: Penrhyn Male Voice Choir, John Ogwen (narrator), Wyn Thomas (narrator), Mared Emlyn (Harpest), Bangor University Chamber Choir (song), Bethan Parry (research), Ben Agenten (Cornett), Hedd Thomas (Composer Si hei lwli’ mabi). |

Two-Vivid Productions Interview on Art15
Two-Vivid Productions sat down with me at Sulger-Buel Lovell Gallery in London after Art15 closed to create this really unusual interview about Homing, 'the memory harp' exhibited as a special project at Art15. They were so comfortable to work with and the result is a really honest, natural interview that I feel really privileged to have been captured in. Their production style looks into the individuals behind works of art and I think they really caught that here.

Songsmith (Bangor) Opens Today in Bangor, Wales
Songsmith opens today in Bangor, Wales and runs until the 29th of February. Here is a little invitation in the Bangor Chronicles: "Three unique audio-visual art installations are being 'hidden' across Bangor. 'Songsmith' by South African artist Jenna Burchell will discover forgotten cracks in Bangor's architecture. Her aural and visual work will inhabit cracks, fissures and objects across the city from February 8 to 29. Her sound art will be found outside Bangor Cathedral at the boundary wall by the front entraces, at Bangor University on the corner of College Lane and Siliwen Road and in the last pavilion at the end of Garth Oier. The cracks, fractures and gaps found int he walls have been 'mended' with a sound instrument called a songsmith. Each songsmith has a unique QR code nearby which allows visitors to reveal site-specific audio soundscapes via their smartphones. Full instructions on how to activate the QR codes is available at www.soundlands.org/songsmith." - Bangor Chronicle, Thursday, February 4, 2016, page 11. |

New Public Art Commission Opening Dates confirmed
My new public art commission, Songsmith, will be open from the 8th - 29th of Feb 2016 in Bangor City, Wales, UK. For Songsmith, I discovered forgotten cracks in Bangor's architecture and filled them with sound art. Three cracks, fractures and gaps found in the walls, objects and streets of Bangor have been 'mended' with a sound instrument called a songsmith. Each songsmith has a unique QR code nearby which allows visitors to reveal site-specific audio soundscapes via their smartphones. These exquisite fractures are chosen for their age-long histories and rich narratives, they tell of the beauty of life despite complications and imperfections. To artistically repair the cracks, I created unique casts following a method loosely based on the Japanese art and philosophy of Kintsukuroi - repairing broken crockery with golden lacquer in order to appreciate the objects new beauty and visible history. During my month-long residency in Bangor, I collected 'aural ballads' through my encounters with local people. These ballads tell the stories of everyday citizens as they reveal stories of home, land, memory and culture unique to each songsmith site. |

Soundscape of Homing Played At Art15, London
In the early morning when it was ghostly silent, a rare experience was recorded inside the Olympia. Have a listen to this recording of the immersive, interactive instrument Homing being played by a beautiful young lady, Cleo Stringer, with brief guest appearances made by Phillip Karjerker and the artist Isabelle Grobler. These sounds come from Capetown, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Grahamstown and London. They swirl into a beautiful soundscape of life as Cleo walks through the strings and touches them.

Unexpected Encounters - Penrhyn Male Voice Choir
I was really honoured to meet the Penrhyn Male Voice Choir to capture a song that they performed for my new public art commission: Songsmith. The choir's history is seeped in song and forms a tragically beautiful tale of the history of the Bethesda Slate miners. These miners, paid in pennies, donated a portion of their salaries every month towards the establishment of the Bangor University so that their children could have a better life. This story forms part of the Songsmith found on the University of Bangor campus... keep your eyes out for it going up over the next week. -JB 2015/06/20 |

Songsmith
After days and nights of sitting outside in the cold, wet weather sculpting the repairs on three unique sites around Bangor city, I finally took studio residence at Platfform @ TOGY. There I was met with warmth and support just when I needed it the most. The first songsmiths were broken out their molds and I got a glimpse of what they will look like... -JB 2015/06/20 |

Bangor City, Wales.
A day after Art15 closed I jumped onto a backwards train to the city of Bangor in Wales. I've never travelled facing the wrong way before and hope to not make that mistake again. It did bring to mind some interesting existential questions about time, place and life which is exactly the tone of my new commission work in Wales. Earlier this year I was awarded the Soundlands commission to produce new public sound art in Bangor city. The project is entitled Songsmith. Songsmith is a liminal project that exists temporarily in the streets of the city. Read more about the commission here. Watch this space, Twitter and Facebook for more information as this project unfolds. -JB 2015/06/02 |

Art15 is a Wrap.
Art15 has come to a close and it was an intense few days of many beautiful people. Homing was noted in the top spot by Artnet as a highlight of the art fair and as a 'I wish I thought of that' on After-Nyne blog. Also take a look at some of the responses to Homing in London via my Twitter feed @jennaburchell and keep your eyes out for my interview on Bloomberg TV. I had some inspiring conversations and moments that couldn't have existed if I didn't have the constant support of my assistents Phillip Karjeker and Cleo Stringer. They treated every viewer to a smile and a story. I want to extend a massive thanks to them and to Art15 for understanding my need of them. Homing is now officially packed into its crate and ready to move on to the next desitination. Stay in contact with me by signing up to my news letter or joining my facebook page to keep updated about Homing's next exhibition. -JB 2015/05/24 |

Homing's Debut in London, Art15.
I designed Homing with the mind that it would be interacted with by two people at a time, or more if there were an accord between the participants. Of course there are such moments of interaction, but something else happens at the opening of a major international art fair… With thousands of visitors interacting, Homing unfolds a very intense soundscape of many individual sounds. Of course when you open a platform to free expression and interaction one must be prepared to let go of intentions and witness some rather cacophonous moments. However it is also during times like these that the work becomes an interesting study of human behavior as it starts to reveal patterns of common interaction. In this complex buzz of entanglement between viewers boundaries are dropped, personal space vaporizes, high heals, dread locks, Chinese, African or Saxon, an idea of the world’s complex song starts to unfold. Often people don't realise how much work happens behind the scenes of an international art fair. I would just like to mention how incredibly grateful I am for the magic Christian Sulger-Buel and Tamzin Lovell for their support, passion and vision. Sulger-Buel Lovell Gallery has shown that they are not afraid to take risks. I'm so fascinated to be a part of their journey along side the phenomenal Isabelle Grobler - Artist. We worked long and late hours under an incredibly tight schedule together but at last Homing is up and ready for Art15. -JB 2015/05/20 |

Was That Mars? The Geographers at AfrikaBurn
WOW, what an exhilarating experience AfrikaBurn was. No amount of preparation will prepare you for soldering at 1am in the freezing desert on hard rock that just took five men and one powerful impact hammer four hours to earth 200mm of steel into the ground with precision. My mind wonders at what kind of alien planet the Karroo desert is and how similar it may be to mars. Through the sweat, sleep depravation, heatstroke and freezing knees we installed the first beta of The Geographers in time for the burn. Take a look at the newly loaded project here. - JB 2015/05/06 |

Homing Migrates to the United Kingdom.
When I created Homing I built into it many layers of meaning and levels of access. I did this because I believe that art needs to be accessible and didactic to a wide range of audience from young to old, lay to academic, culture to culture. Some may just encounter it as a quick bit of fun and leave with a smile, others may stay a bit longer and realise the potential of meaning it holds, and even fewer will start to unpack its deeper meanings by stepping back and witnessing its unfolding metadata. All these layers of meaning making are valuable to me as an artist, however, I often don’t have the time to write down the experience that Homing has been to me and what some of those deeper metadata layers are. This post isn’t one of those digestible moments of clarity, but I hope it could spark some deeper thinking in you. Looking back at the 2014 South African tour of Homing, I’ve encountered thousands of beautiful people, caught a glimpse of their lives, and been privileged to experience the places that they call home. During this tour the project sought to encourage interaction and cultural exchange through art by offering a platform for people to come together and share a wealth of vibrant cultures, differences and similarities that exists in South Africa. However the deeper heart of this platform only truly manifests itself when the project encounters ‘foreign’ soil. I’m pleased to announce after a year of incubation in South Africa and months of hard work alongside the passionate Sulger-Buel-Lovell Gallery, that 2015 will mark a new international chapter of Homing’s travels. Homing will debut at Art15 London Art Fair in the United Kingdom in May. Supported as a Special Project of Art15, Homing will continue its methodology of collection, archive and exhibition in London. This will begin an interesting exchange between the two countries as Homing’s South African aural ballad is exhibited alongside a newly collected London soundscape. I’m truly looking forwards to this unique experience and curious to see how it unfolds. -JB 2015/03/22 |

New Work on the Desert Horizon.
Each year Afrika Burn attracts thousands of individuals to an extreme landscape for a few days of sanded existence to experience something unique. I'm excited to announce that this year, as part of a grant received from Afrika Burn, I will be living and working along side these 9000 beautiful characters in the Karroo dessert to produce a new artwork entitled The Geographers. The Geographers investigates the socio-emotional landscape of the AfrikaBurn community. During AfrikaBurn I will be following a 7day journey interviewing and audio capturing the story of how the residents of this temporal village navigate their understanding of love, home, land and cultural belonging both during and after their stay. The Geographers appear as three mirror finished, gold-steel columns installed in the desert of Twanka Town, far out where it is quiet. Each column contains a delicately composed audio story that is based on the results of the audio investigation. The Geogaphers can be played with a simple touch by the residents. This interaction creates a journey for the residents to experience and discover for themselves what the results of the investigation are and what the message of the project is. In tune with this years theme, The Gift, this project offers the gift of a platform for individuals to connect to each other and share their stories. See you in the desert! - JB 2015/03/20 |

Back In Studio
Being back in studio is an incredible thing. After a year of touring Homing, I've missed this place. I muse about in a space filled with ideas, half baked, half designed, half invented, floating about above my head. Now and then I grab one and pull it down to my desk, tease it apart and look at its insides. Does it have heart? Does it have a message? Can it make what is fundamental to the local (me), relevant to the universal (you)? Can it touch people in ways that make a difference to them? I mull over these questions, piecing together new thoughts and adding mass to their structures. If only there was enough time to build them all, if only there was a means to build them all, if only, if only. This is my favourite part of creating. - JB 2015/01/04 |
