Julian Day is an artist, composer, writer and broadcaster. He creates simple yet evocative works encompassing installation, video, sound, text and performance. Much of his work is site-specific and collaborative, using dispersed homogeneous sound to explore the acoustic, architectural and relational properties of such varied spaces as railway sheds, marketplaces, laneways, parks and galleries.
Day performs as An Infinity Room (AIR) and co-directs Super Critical Mass, a large-scale participatory project in public places. His work has featured at Whitechapel Gallery, Cafe Oto, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney Opera House and the Institute of Modern Art (Brisbane) among other spaces. He has worked with such musicians as Lisa Moore, TILT Brass, Third Angle Ensemble, Synergy, Australian String Quartet, The Song Company, Decibel and Zubin Kanga.
Day is also a writer and broadcaster. He has presented programs for BBC Radio 3 and regularly hosts New Music Up Late on ABC Classic FM. His interviewees include Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Blixa Bargeld, John Cale, Laurie Anderson, David Toop and Elliott Carter.
