OFFERING TRANSMISSIONS
EXHIBTION AT RODEO, ISTANBUL - UNTIL 31.03.2012

Seminal British conceptual artist John Latham’s performance work re-worked at Wysing Arts Centre as part of a day of performances and live works that look at ideas around space and time.

Dramaturge: Mark Aerial Waller

Saturday 10 March 2-7pm

WYSING ARTS CENTRE, FOX ROAD, BOURN, CAMBRIDGE CB23 2TX

The performance of the late John Latham’s work at Wysing is the first of a series of new re-workings of the artist’s play The Government of the First and Thirteenth Chair, for camera, for live audience and for publication.  In the collaboration between Wysing, Flat Time House (Latham’s studio and home in Peckham) and Norwich University College of the Arts (NUCA), artist Mark Aerial Waller has reworked Latham’s original script and stage directions with students from NUCA to develop a new version of the play, which expresses Latham’s theories of space and time.

BOOK TICKETS HERE or on 01954 718881.
This event is FREE and Wysing are considering organising transport by coach from London (£18 return) and Cambridge (£8 return) if there is enough demand. If you would like to take advantage of this then please let Wysing know when booking.

Emma Smith’s ongoing project ∆E=W, developed with the support of Artsadmin from a series of experiments involving touch, the gaze and spatial harmonics, looks at the experience we have in a gallery through a series of vocal and physical responses to the work on display.  Mark Essen shows a new short video work. Francesco Pedraglio’s The Evidence of an Object focuses on the conceptual and practical difficulties of storytelling, reflecting on the idea that any narrative, as much as it creates dependency for its listeners, relies on their interpretative will.  Cally Spooner reads a score for a new theatre production on the possibility of not performing. A film programme for a phosphorescent screen has been curated in collaboration with Gil Leung of LUX and artist Ed Atkins.

Following the screening there will be a Q&A chaired by Joanne Lee (Senior Lecturer, Fine Art, Nottingham Trent University) alongside artists Doug Fishbone and Mark Aerial Waller.

READ INTERVIEW WITH CARRY GORNEY, WRITER AND SYSTEMIC PSYCHANALYST

Community without Propinquity* is a project, curated by Claire Louise Staunton and Inheritance Projects, exploring the role of contemporary art and understandings of community in New Towns across the globe. For October and November, the The Project Space at MK Gallery, Milton Keynes has been an active Research Laboratory and forum for public events and new artist commissions. The focus of the research has been on the meaning of "community" in New Towns.

The closing event will frame this work and research within a panel discussion, the launch of a publication published by ANDPublic and And Endless Supply and the first chance to see new work by the six commissioned artists including Caroline Devine, Patrick Staff, Emma Smith, Kelly Large and Mark Aerial Waller.

CONTRIBUTION : INTERVIEW WITH MIKE SPERLINGER

The publication includes a series of interviews with artists who exhibited at Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp, over a two-year period, along with a collection of secondary and parallel material produced in collaboration with each artist. Ranging from the humorous to the pseudo-scientific, the artists discuss the methods by which their research is transformed into practice. Both the artists and the interviewers constitute a community of active and concerned arts practitioners who, through art-making, writing, curation and teaching, deal with issues of representation, behavioral patterns and historical legacy.

Total derive on commodity fetishism: born again, perverted and reclaimed
There is some kind of sacrifice, once these clothes have been baptised they are not refundable or returnable, their commodity value has been washed away.
The submerged are both serious and exultant. There is a sense of triumph around. The years spent infusing the garments with corporate branding and pseudo philosophy have been dismantled in an instant by powerful niche eroticism.

Bring your Reeboks, Nike gear, combats, Armani, Gucci, Burberry. See them shine in the wet, floating and dripping, weaves reordered.

"                     "[sic] TIM GOLDIE is one of the most original noise musician/performers on the European scene. His double album "ABJECTOR"[sic] is a violent and considered examination of the fragmentation of language, the de-composition of instrumental research and the painful suffering that accompanies it. Far from any current or cultural influence, Goldie's work places itself in a unique conceptual universe, and its cruel voice warbles a mix of agony and ecstasy. Netmage Festival, Italy 2009
