Hello Halo by Ruby Colley

‘Hello Halo’ is a new work composed by Ruby Colley for Exaudi Ensemble. The composition has been devised with her brother, Paul Colley, who is non-speaking & is an artist at Project Art Works. The process examines the intimate complexity of neurodiversity and sibling relationships as well as unconventional methods of communication. Collaborating with Paul has informed a compositional score formed of memories, sounds and non-language based communication. It explores the intimate dynamics of caregiving and sibling dynamics alongside alternative communication methods.

The writing is used in the exhibition programme which you can download here: Kaleidoscopic Realms Booklet. We approached Tony Colley, who was an Artist Lead working with Michelle for many years in the Project Art Works studio. Tony wrote: When first encountering the works of Michelle Roberts the visual feast in front of us draws us into a world that bridges our engagement with her imaginative reality, a reality we share.

The Brabant chapter of the Cow and Landscape is part of the SOILS exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, until 24 November 2024. What place can Dutch rural and more-than-human life be given within contemporary art amid growing demands for agricultural transition? We believe that good coexistence between humans and the more-than-human requires us to recognize how the economy is rooted in local cultures and (natural) environments. The work introduces the conceptual framework rural sociologist Inez Dekker and visual artist Wapke Feenstra developed together for this project as they journey through the Netherlands from autumn 2020 to spring 2024.
