Richard Crow is an inter-disciplinary artist working in the field of experimental audio research, live performance and site-specific installation. He utilises sound and noise in a performative way, for its disruptive and subjective qualities and above all for its psycho-physical implications for the listener and viewer. Over the past two decades his solo and collaborative site-specific installations and performances have consisted of highly conceptualized interventions into base materiality, investigations of alternative systems of organisation and research into a certain material decadence, most notably with the project The Institution of Rot which he co-founded with the writer Nick Couldry in 1992.
Since the mid 80's Crow has collaborated, performed, and recorded with many leading musicians and sonic artists including Joe Banks, Zan Hoffman, Adam Bohman, Furt, The Hafler Trio, Clive Graham, Michael Prime, Dean Roberts, Kaffe Matthews, Michael Morley, Sandoz Lab Technicians, dy'na:mo, and Gintas K.

Furlong recently published Speaking of Art a comprehensive book on Audio Arts for Phaidon Press. In 2005 Tate acquired the Audio Arts archive from its inception in 1973 to the present.
