Hayes’ first solo show at Transition centres on an inquisitive dialectic of viewing. In her painted museums, safaris and operas the lookers are often as important as the looked at. Her reduced graphic style gets straight to the point of the imagery, which leaves us, the distanciated looker, to ponder over the connections. This imaginative joining-up-the-dots of seeing is a counterpoint to the Sing Out Loud of the exhibition’s title. Hayes’ singing is the opposite of an acousmatic experience where a sound is heard without seeing the causes behind it. Her opera singers open their mouths – but we never hear their voices.
