Three Aeolian Installations for Bonn Hoeren – Botanical Gardens, Bonn

In 2014 Max Eastley was Bonn City sound artist. He built three Aeolian installations in the Botanical Gardens, Bonn, which were exhibited from 14th June - 31st October 2014. One installation consisted of Aeolian harps mounted on two rafts floating on a lake in the gardens. The sound of the harps was amplified and projected from speakers on the rafts. The other Aeolian installations used different materials, latex and black bamboo, that related to the environment of the gardens.

Audible Forces, 2013-2014

Inspired by Max Eastley's Aeolian researches, Audible Forces was a touring exhibition organised by a collaboration between Oxford Contemporary Music, The Sonic Arts Research Unit at Oxford Brookes University and Without Walls. This was an outdoor exhibition of seven artists who all created artworks using the wind to produce sound. The exhibition toured for two years (2013-2014) and went to Brighton Festival, Norfolk & Norwich, Salisbury, Greenwich & Docklands, Stockton, Kendal Lakes Alive, Salford and Stoke-on-Trent. The artists were: Mark Anderson, Mike Blow, Jony Easterby, Max Eastley, Dan Fox, Cathy Hinde and Nathaniel Mann.
