Monumental Guns and Their Targets by Sean Dower
Published by The Everyday Press 2022
160 pages with 124 black and white illustrations, includes an interview by Jon Wood. Supported by Turner Contemporary Margate, Acme Studios and The Elephant Trust.

Distributed by Antenne Books - ISBN: 9781912458509.

Book gif

This book surveys the publicly accessible cannons and artillery on display in Greater London. The hypothetical strike points of the guns were calculated using ballistics information and complementary pairs of photographs are printed on oposing pages. The simultaneous firing of all these guns is readable as a performance proposal, but one that is extremely unlikely to happen. The book contains an introduction, an index of technical information and an interview with the artist by Jon Wood.

Sean Dower Percussion (2017-21) 7'52"

Sound emerges from an open first floor window. The public might discover the sound by accident or by following a map available from local shops and kiosks. The recording (a cascade of waterdrops resonating inside a galvanized metal drainpipe) may at first sound like repetitive noise, however a closer listen reveals complex underlying structure and resonances.
