The Letter String Quartet

It’s week two of lockdown now and one week since we released two interactive web videos from our project “all that you hear is all that is heard” into the digital ether.
These works were created using interviews gathered in 2019 from tenants of the iconic Nicholas Building in Melbourne’s CBD
This week we have been thinking about all the amazing artists and creative businesses who lease spaces in the Nicholas Building and what a blow these times could be bringing to their livelihood.
If you are looking to support our local economy take a virtual exploration of the Nicholas Building Tenants. There you will find artists of all kinds; designers, tailors, milliners, magic potion purveyors, animators, illustrators, gallery owners, jewellery makers, video editors, architects, tattoo artists, sculptors, writers, deep thinkers and focussed tinkerers.

We need creative ecosystems like The Nicholas Building to thrive in this new world.
TLSQ had intended to present a 2020 live season of “all that you hear is all that is heard” that travelled through the Nicholas Building; with a final movement taking place in Missing Persons on Level 4.
Great thanks to support via the City of Melbourne COVID-19 Arts Grants.
“Always the Same” and “Layer Upon Layer” were created remotely during isolation 1.0 2020.
