Andrew Lanyon, Rebecca Lennon, Jenny Moore, Francesco Pedraglio, Monica Rivas

Saturday 28th January 2012 - 19:35 - 21:00

The evening begins at Liverpool Street Station at 19.35pm. 

Board the 19:45 train to Cheshunt five stops to Banner Repeater.

Promptness is essential, especially if prone to missing trains, and in this case missing the train means missing a one-time-only performance!

(If you're unable to catch this train, please still come to Banner Repeater for additional performances and readings from 8pm-9pm)

Ten Chapters Seven Chapters, A Contents Page, Parenthesis and Footnotes is a new publication featuring works by: Davide Balliano, Ami Clarke, Emma Hart, Andrew Lanyon, Rebecca Lennon, Louisa Martin, Jenny Moore, Tamarin Norwood, Francesco Pedraglio, and Mónica Rivas. The individual chapters announce their arrival via an evolving contents page which diagrammatically charts the evolution of the book's existence though it's myriad and disparate events; performances, films, drawings, text, sculpture, and printed materials - each suggesting the nature of the book which itself continually escapes full comprehension. 

This event marks the project's first public outlet, and features chapters by Andrew Lanyon, Rebecca Lennon, Jenny Moore, Francesco Pedraglio and Mónica Rivas.

Exhibition continues on 29th January.

Again, A Time Machine

17 JANUARY 2012
6–9.30PM
THE SHOWROOM
63 PENFORLD STREET
LONDON NW8 8PQ

The Time Machine is a project that asks us to forget about archives and embrace the confusion of the present, in order to consciously experiment with all our imaginable histories and expected futures. Presented as part of Again, A Time Machine at The Showroom, words and archives are discharged into the present, through a series of performative talks and events. This event sees performances, readings and sound work by Alex Cecchetti, Mark Geffriaud, and Kit Poulson with Alex Baker, at the launch of their three publications: A Society that Breathes Once a Year by Alex Cecchetti, The Curve of Forgotten Things by Mark Geffriaud, and The Ice Cream Empire by Kit Poulson. The Time Machine, selected and edited by Francesco Pedraglio from open submission, is a project that asks us to forget about archives and embrace the confusion of the present, in order to consciously experiment with all our imaginable histories and expected futures.

Performance as Publishing - Kunsthalle Basel - 13 January

Performance as Publishing, 21:00 – 01:00
Performance as Publishing is an event that investigates the shifting relations between performance practice and discourse, event and writing.
The event furthermore explores the work of contemporary artists who use text as the base for their performance. Text does not primarily appear as a means of communication but as something, which has a shape and structure of its own. The performative act appears as an investigation into how meaning can be transformed and constructed through speech act and the voice. Performance therefore emerges as the main tool to make a text presentable and accessible. Through the implementation of voice, gestures and technical amplifiers a wider field of mediation is possible. Language may then be used in different terms (abstract, concrete) for unconventional mediations (fiction, fact), which challenges the perception and questions our daily cognition. Performance as Publishing looks at how language shapes and creates our world and how the corporal act is part of the linguistic mediation.
