Brown Noise was a collaborative exhibition by Sean Dower, Lohan Emanuel and Nick Waplington in 2008.
This was the inaugural exhibition at Maurice Eienhardt Neu Gallery, a gallery connected with the recording industry
and surrounded on 3 sides by recording studios. The theme of the exhibition was somewhat puerile and it pitched
itself as a kind of relief from the cultural excesses of the London art scene during the time of the Frieze art fair.
Several weeks before the exhibition, the artists organised an unpublicised 'teaser' night in the venue.
In the brightly lit gallery, they exhibited only a large poster for the forthcoming exhibition and a speaker cabinet
playing loud brown noise. During this 'teaser' event, an unsolicited performance took place by an unrelated artist
who was
already known for defecating in art galleries.
One night during the exhibition, 'Ghost Drummer' performed in the gallery, initiating a series of performances by bands
in the space over the coming months.
