Joe Namy Read Bio Collapse
Joe Namy is an artist and musician based in London, who often works collaboratively on public sculptures, sound installations, and performances. Namy’s work considers the social construction of sound and the forces that enable its transmission. Some projects have addressed the gender dynamics of bass, or the migration patterns of instruments, and the translation between languages, between score and sound, between drum and dance. Other projects by Namy explore the history and resonance of opera houses in the Middle East and the archive of Egyptian-American musician Halim El-Dabh, a pioneer of electronic music.
