Tickets go on sale for Beyond Submergence at Propyard

By Martin Booth  Wednesday May 17, 2023

Tickets go on sale at midday on Wednesday for a “world-first immersive light, space and sound journey” coming this summer to Bristol.

Squidsoup will transform Propyard from July 1 with several of their best known artworks and never before seen pieces.

The Beyond Submergence exhibition curated by the Cheltenham-based art collective will be tailored specifically to the industrial architecture of the 20,000sq ft space on Feeder Road, welcoming guests to explore a series of works that run in a sequence.

Squidsoup have recently collaborated with FourTet at their sold-out shows at Alexandra Palace.

Several of their largest pieces will be merged together in Beyond Submergence, which will be Squidsoup’s first ever exhibition and the first time to experience these pieces together.

“You are about to enter a different kind of space, an experience you may not be familiar with,” say the Squidsoup team.

“Take the time before you begin to forget the outside world, to relax and open yourself to the unexpected.

“Get accustomed to a slower pace, and prepare your eyes and ears, for these artworks are about light, sound, space.

“Allow your mind to wander, to follow through with the associations that may come to it; explore them, enjoy the evocations, feelings and memories they bring.”

 

Squidsoup founder, Anthony Rowe, added: “Beyond Submergence is the biggest ever showcase of our works in one setting and doing it in Bristol feels very fitting. It’s close to home and a seminal moment for us.

“Putting the project together has been a fascinating process of discovery and rediscovery of our work. We found synergies and connections between these projects that we hadn’t really noticed before.

“Propyard is the perfect venue to premiere Beyond Submergence. Our values are in sync completely – to inspire and excite – and the space is a complete one-off in the centre of this very special city.

“Bristol has always responded positively and supportively to our installations and interventions since we first showed here in 2004. We’re almost 20 years on and back with a completely unique experience for visitors.”

Tickets to Beyond Submergence go on sale at midday on for £15 for adults and £5 for children. For more information and tickets, visit www.beyondsubmergence.com
