Colin Fallows

Colin Fallows, Head of Research Degrees, Liverpool School of Art and Design, LJMU. Fallows’ research explores crossovers between sound and the visual arts, frequently investigating the conditions and potentialities of listening. As artist and curator, he has produced soundworks for live ensemble performance, recordings, exhibition, installation, radio and the Internet. His artistic and curatorial projects have featured in numerous international festivals, galleries and museums.

He leads the Colin Fallows Ensemble - an electric guitar trio (with Bee Hughes and Eva Petersen) dedicated to the performance of multi-layered soundworks, dense with microtones which generate numerous overtones through bespoke tuning to resonant performance spaces. His large-scale curated exhibitions, with related internationally distributed book publications, reinterpret previously under-researched figures and works in popular culture including: Stuart Sutcliffe - A Retrospective (2008), Astrid Kirchherr - A Retrospective (2010), and Cut-ups, Cut-ins, Cut-outs: The Art of William S. Burroughs at the Kunsthalle, Vienna (2012) and the International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia (2013).

He has been instrumental in the acquisition of several world-class archives of popular culture/counterculture held at Liverpool John Moores University. As curator and research consultant to these archives, he has researched and curated materials in a variety of contexts for large-scale exhibitions in galleries and museums across nine countries. He is the founder and Artistic Director of Audio Research Editions, a limited edition imprint for artists’ soundworks, which since 1998, has published over two hundred works by artists from over twenty countries
