Sadia Sadia is a Canadian-born British installation artist, known for her audiovisual media work, incorporating sound and images, both still and moving.

Career[]

Music[]

From 1978 to 1993, Sadia worked largely with the Canadian guitar player David Wilcox, producing nine albums including Out of the Woods, My Eyes Keep Me In Trouble, Bad Reputation, Breakfast at the Circus, and The Natural Edge, four of which reached gold or platinum status in Canada.[1][2][3]

In 1993, Sadia co-founded the multimedia world fusion project Equa with Stephen W. Tayler. Signed to Polygram (Australia) in 1996, the band's eponymously titled Equa was nominated for an ARIA award for best world music album.[4]

During the 1990s she sat as the only female director of the British Record Producer's Guild.[5]

Film[]

Sadia produced, edited, and (working with Stephen W. Tayler as Equa) scored Anthony Stern's short film The Noon Gun, based on footage originally shot in Afghanistan in 1971.[6] Made with the support of the British Council, The Noon Gun was shortlisted for the Satyajit Ray Foundation short film competition and has been featured in film festivals worldwide[7] (e.g. the Melbourne International Film Festival 2004[8] and the Portobello Film Festival 2007).[9]

She also produced and edited Stern's The End of the Party: Hyde Park 1969, a view of the 60's based on previously unseen footage of the first performance by Blind Faith in Hyde Park;[10] produced and edited Iggy the Eskimo Girl, a short featuring Syd Barrett's (Pink Floyd) girlfriend Iggy, known in the 1960s as "Iggy the Eskimo girl".[11]

Sadia worked as director, editor, producer and sound designer on San Francisco Redux No. 1,[12] the first installment of a multi-channel installation work, which premiered as part of a program at Cinémathèque Française in 2008.[13]

Sadia directed, produced and edited the film Lit From Within: The Film and Glass Works of Anthony Stern, a short documentary which explores Stern's life and works, and examines the aesthetic and philosophical relationship between glass and film as materials through which light passes.[14][13]

Installations[]

Sadia is the creator of the single channel video installation The Memory of Water (Part 1)[15] which was acquired by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) to form part of its permanent collection.[16][17] It was included in the ACMI's exhibition Proof: The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes.[18]

In January 2014, Sadia completed All Time and Space Fold into the Infinite Present (Cataract Gorge)[19] a large-scale three channel filmed installation with an accompanying eight channel soundfield. The work features footage of the rapids captured by the artist in Cataract Gorge, Launceston, Tasmania. The footage has been slowed down and colour balanced to resemble deep space, while the motion remains that of the water. The accompanying eight channel soundfield is constructed of audio captured by the artist in the Gorge.[20] The work premiered at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG)[21] in Tasmania, Australia, in 2014, and has since been acquired by the museum for their permanent collection.[22][23][17]

In September 2014, Sadia premiered her 30-channel audio installation Notes To An Unknown Lover at Spinnerei Rundgang in Leipzig, Germany.[24] She also self-published a book with the same title.[25] She also premiered her installation ‘Fugue: Die Wende, created in collaboration with Stephen Tayler and Darren Munce, at Halle 14 Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst (Centre for Contemporary Art) as part of the City of Leipzig’s Lichtfest 2014 Kulturparcours.[26]

In June 2015, Ghosts of Noise[27][28] was screened and discussed as part of the international colloquium Les Devenirs Artistiques de L’Information at Sorbonne Paris, co-sponsored by Le Bauhaus-Universität Weimar & Internationales Kolleg für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie (IKKM), the Birmingham Center for Media and Cultural Research, and ELICO Equipe de recherche de Lyon.[29][30]
