About Something to Say

Soundwalk composition created in collaboration with an Angus-based community group, inspired by Hospitalfield's medicinal garden and personal experiences of exploring the garden and grounds.

Commissioned by Hospitalfield and THAT (Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust).

Artist Kim Walker, invited the arts and health group to explore the relationship with Hospitalfield’s new Medicinal Garden, through looking at seasonal change, using language, images, print and through sound recording. Over eight weeks the group came together to talk, share, and look at the multiple histories, stories and sounds of the Medicinal Garden at Hospitalfield and to create an “audio walk”.

Participants worked with Kim “To develop a soundwalk composition that explores the medicinal garden at Hospitalfield, focusing on relating this to the concepts of traces and erasure within my own practice and other contemporary art practices. Discussion and activities will focus on developing an understanding of how soundwalks are developed; using deep listening practices to explore the environment; and using the medicinal garden as inspiration for the development of creative practice and related ideas."

I Don’t Need the Sound of the Radio

This sound work is the combined outcome of a series community workshops exploring sound art, sound walks, contemporary sonic art practice, concepts of Deep Listening and the composition of a soundwalk for Hospitalfield’s Physic Garden. I Don’t Need the Sound of the Radio was inspired by participants experiences within the garden and exploring the garden together. The idea of connecting to the ‘traces’ of the past through contemporary practice, and creating a new rendering informed by personal histories, old and new. For Kim, this commission sits at the intersection between an art commission and a community project, with participants shaping the artwork and influencing the final commission output.
