1. AN OVERLOADED TRANSMISSION FROM A QUASI-PERSONAL STELLAR SOURCE

29th July—1st August '10

A live, long form radio broadcast from Sound Threshold in collaboration with Resonance 104.4fm with a new installed work by William Furlong.

30 July - 1 August 2010, Flat Time House

Live broadcast 1 August 6.30 pm to 12 midnight Resonance 104.4fm

A three-day event of conversations, readings and site interventions exploring Flat Time House as a broadcast unit and meeting place, extended in time.

With the participation of Adam and Jonathan Bohman, Daniela Cascella, Lucia Farinati, William Furlong, Ken Hollings, Elisa Kay, Roberta Kravitz, Noa Latham, Richard Thomas, Athanasios Velios, Patrick Wildgust and Mark Peter Wright.

For An overloaded transmission... artists, writers, academics, practitioners, musicians and archivists have been invited to inhabit Flat Time House and discuss distinct notions of time in their various practices. Prompted by John Latham's 1975 essay Time-Base and Determination in Events and his 'Time-Base Theory', An overloaded transmission... will respond to the conceptual structure of Flat Time House as a living object and the event as a transmission. The relationship between archive, time and sound embodied by Latham's archive will be looked at, as well as concepts of time that bring together literature, art, music and science.

In Latham's 1975 essay, he describes how the obscure literary style of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake allows the work to function, portraying the book as a 'quasi-personal stellar source'. In response, each room and part of Flat Time House will be used for recording conversation on site and broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm. In addition, Sound Threshold have specially commissioned two new audio-event pieces: Not Speaking the Language, an outdoor sound installation by artist William Furlong with the recorded voice of John Latham and, Re-Ear a new composition by sonic artist Mark Peter Wright using recordings before and during the event, mixed and played live with the conversations.

4. Serpentine Cinema: CINACT

Claire Hooper NYX 2010

Sunday 1 August, 2pm

Serpentine Cinema presents the UK premier of the Baloise Prize-winning film NYX by Claire Hooper.

Shot on location across Berlin’s modernist U-Bahn network, the film examines the Ancient Greek concept of ‘the night’ to interrogate the semiotic relationships between sleep, death, hallucination and oblivion. Following on from her 2008 film Nach Spandau—a nocturnal architectural lament on the U7 line—NYX uses the same location as a set to represent the underground domain of Nyx, the goddess of the night. Hallucinating and disorientated, the film follows a drunken young man as he is caught in the cross-fire of her aggressive encounters with related gods Hypnos, Nemesis and The Erinyes (Furies).

Claire Hooper was born in 1978 and lives and works in London. She has participated in numerous exhibitions and screenings internationally and recent and forthcoming shows include Time Machine and Anywhere Door, IT Park, Taipei; Art Statements, ArtBasel 41, Basel; Nach Spandau, Hollybush Gardens, London; The Blessing, Sketch, London; An Archaeology, Zabludowicz Collection at 176, London; Galerie Kamm, Berlin; A New Stance for Tomorrow, Sketch, London, Bidoun Artists Cinema, Dubai & Tribeca Grand Screen, New York; Claire Hooper & Mahomi Kunikata, LARM Gallery, Copenhagen. She is the 2010 winner of The Baloise Art Prize 2010, that honours two young artists every year and is presented at the ‘Art Statements’ sector of the International Art Basel fair by a jury of renowned experts.

The Future's Getting Old Like The Rest Of Us (2010, 45mins)

24 July – 19 September at Sackler Centre of Arts Education
Serpentine Gallery

Screened on the hour

The Future’s Getting Old Like The Rest Of Us is a 16mm film conceived in the format of a TV Play and set in an older people’s care home. Part documentary, part fiction, the script for the film was a collaboration between Beatrice Gibson and writer and critic George Clark, and was constructed from transcripts of a discussion group held over a period of five months with the residents of four of Camden's care homes. Taking B.S. Johnson's 1971 experimental novel House Mother Normal as its formal departure point and employing the logic of a musical score, the script is edited into a vertical structure, featuring eight simultaneous monologues. The Future's Getting Old Like The Rest Of Us features actors Roger Booth, Corinne Skinner Carter, Janet Henfrey, Ram John Holder, Annie Firbank, John Tilbury, William Hoyland and Jane Wood.

The film is one of five commissions that have taken place as part of the Serpentine Gallery’s Skills Exchange Project in which artists, designers and architects work in collaboration with older people, care workers, young people and activists to develop ideas for social and architectural change. Camden Council has co-commissioned the film with the Serpentine Gallery. In addition to the film, stills and scripts will be installed in the new care home, due to be completed in 2012 at Maitland Park.

The Future's Getting Old Like The Rest Of Us will be screened in the Sackler Centre for Arts Education from 24 July to 19 September.

Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens London W2 3XA

6. LUX EVENING COURSE : Opening up the Archive – a Guided tour of Artists Moving Image - back by popular demand!

Whether sitting on the shelves in LUX’s East London Studio, or in transit to screenings and film festivals across the globe, LUX holds one of the most diverse collections of artists’ film and video in Europe. More than a collection of film cans and video tapes, the LUX archive reflects the rich history and continuing vibrancy of artists’ work with the moving image: from the earliest experiments of the avant-garde to the recent explorations of multiple-screen projection and film performance.

The LUX archive provides the starting point for this short course. Over six weeks a selection of different films or videos from the collection provides the focus for some of the historical contexts and key debates that have enlivened artists’ moving image from the 1920s to the present day. Led by the film writer and curator Lucy Reynolds, and held in the screening room at LUX, the course will present some of the rarely seen films and videos from the LUX collection in an introduction to, and an insight into, the thriving culture of artists’ filmmaking.

Each week, a weekly selection of moving image works traces some of the most significant themes, figures and movements to emerge across more than a century of artists’ moving image: from a cinema of abstraction and Surrealism, to experiments with film’s materiality and recent digital explorations; from political subversion to personal poetics.

Each class will be supported with weekly handouts of key texts and further information on the artists and work under discussion.

The course runs for 6 weeks every Tuesday night from September 21st to October 26th 2010, 7pm - 9pm at LUX Offices in Dalston, East London.

Course fees are £80/£60 concessions. Places are limited and only a few places are left. To book a place on the course or for further questions please contact Silvia McMenamin silvia@lux.org.uk
