ANIMAL [a listening gym] is a boundary-pushing encounter with sound created by sonic artist Ash Fure and architect Xavi Aguirre (stock-a-studio).

Conceived as an underground listening gym, the project features full-bodied sonic machines that function like a sensory circuit workout: you press, you lift, you lean, you lie, you exercise your animal capacity to sense. Both a total installation and a site for live performance, ANIMAL asks how we "practice" listening as a bodily, spatial, and civic form.
