In the run up to BEKs symposium The Only Lasting Truth is Change 2025: Voice, Seed, Brutality, Russell Haswell hosted a 2-day workshop. The workshop culminates in a live collective diffusion on the final day of the symposium on 23 November.

Russell Haswell is an artist, record producer, free improvisor, computer musician, noise aficionado, and curator. He was trained at Coventry School of Art, graduating in 1991. Russell’s extraordinary conceptual oeuvre resists easy summarisation, focused on the site-specific, performance and methodology of large-scale sound works, sometimes in surround. He has given solo audio presentations at major Art and Music festivals and events, in art galleries, concert halls, night clubs and rock venues in 36 countries and counting. Most recently at the Pirelli HangarBicocca, Sonar Festival, ICA and Coventry Cathedral. As a curator, he has delivered projects for PS1/MoMa, All Tomorrow’s Parties, Aldeburgh Music, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary and Cafe Oto. He lives and works in Glasgow.
