Experimental sound and music performance
In person at Agnes, 21 March, dawn to dusk
 Through this durational live performance, Long Branch traces the movement and angle of the sun within the walls of the Agnes Etherington house.
Coinciding with the temporary closing of the Agnes house, Follow the Arc of the Sun marks a transitional moment for the gallery and Long Branch, as they each embark on new beginnings. Occurring over twelve hours, the band invites you to join them, spend some time and step in and out of this river of sound as you wish.
Curated by Nasrin Himada. Follow the Arc of the Sun is a partnership between Agnes Etherington Art Centre and Murney Tower Museum.
