Title: Sound Escapes
Location: Space / Mare street
Start Time: 18:30
Date: 2009-07-24

Co-curated by Irene Revell (Electra) and Angus Carlyle (LCC)

Sound Escapes is an exhibition to mark the culmination of a radical interdisciplinary
research project that brought artists together with acousticians, engineers and social
scientists from institutions across the UK in an endeavour to move beyond the notions
of negative noise towards the idea of positive soundscapes.

Alongside a public interpretation of the central research strands of the project, the
exhibition includes artists who work with soundscapes across a wide range of practices
and whose work is in conversation with the scientific and sociological questions posed
in the research. Significantly, the works have emerged from a listening process that
challenges what counts as positive; work that understands the auditory world in a more
inquisitive way, indeed an interrogation of what even counts as sound.

from the DM’s website:

Design Museum has joined forces with Beefeater 24 to celebrate the fearlessly progressive spirit of London’s greatest creative minds, past and present. London thinks, designs and makes like no other city; it creates and the world follows. A magnet for mavericks and freethinkers, London has nurtured a creative community that continues to rival all other design capitals.

These creative networks have spurred each other on. This exhibition will illustrate London’s pursuit of new, better and braver, across architecture, industrial design, graphics, fashion and communications alike. Endlessly pushing at the forefront of design and constantly inventing for new worlds, London’s design output is continually Super Contemporary.

Title: Futurism
Location: Tate Modern
Date: 2009-06-12

Futurism was an art movement launched by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909. On 20 February he published his Manifesto of Futurism on the front page of the Paris newspaper Le Figaro. That moment saw the birth of the Futurists, a small group of radical Italian artists working just before the outbreak of World War 1.

Among modernist movements, the Futurists rejected anything old and looked towards a new Italy. This was partly because the weight of past culture in Italy was felt as particularly oppressive. In his Manifesto, Marinetti asserted ‘we will free Italy from her innumerable museums which cover her like countless cemeteries.’

What the Futurists proposed instead was an art that celebrated the modern world of industry and technology: ‘We declare … a new beauty, the beauty of speed. A racing motor car … is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace’ (the celebrated ancient Greek sculpture in the Louvre museum in Paris). From an original blend of elements of Neo-Impressionism and Cubism, the Futurists created a new style that expressed the idea of the dynamism, energy and movement of modern life. The chief artists were Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Gino Severini and Luigi Russolo.

Tate Modern celebrates the centenary of this dramatic art movement with a ground-breaking exhibition. Here you’ll see the work of the Futurists accompanied by rooms looking at art movements reacting to Futurism, including Cubism, the British art movement Vorticism, and Russian Cubo-Futurism.

Highlights include Boccioni’s dynamic bronze sculpture of a man which seems to leap through thin air, Picasso’s Head of a Woman, Nevinson’s Vorticist masterpiece Bursting Shell, and works by major artists such as Braque, Leger, Malevich, and Duchamp.

Title: The Bunker – Residencies opening
Location: The Bunker, Abbot street
Description: An exhibition curated by The Centre of The
Universe (Artists: Pim Conradi , Jenny Moore-
Koslowsky, Justin Gainin and Fede)
An Introduction to Art & Artists in East London
by the Bootstrap Company followed by
Drinks, finger food and music

The Bunker is damp – please bring appropriate
shoes.
Start Time: 19:00
Date: 2009-05-26

Not quite an exhibition, but a deep challenge to an environment. In an abandoned and unidentified post-
war bunker, spreading out underneath Dalston, East London, this show is a response to the space it inhabits, and
to the history it recalls.

THE BUNKER is propelled by the search for different spaces and modes of operation. Pushing our
expectations for the future forward, we can trigger the motor of history to act, evolve and motion.
We have invited the following artists to activate the Bunker with us:

Pim Conradi
Pim Conradi’s visionstructures are visual sketches of an on-going research. Through his efforts, he aims to
individuate structures that analyze the relationship between human life and the biosphere, and translate them into
functional proposals that span from architecture to design. This is his first public appearance.
Pim is currently artist-in-residence at Area 10, London.
Jenny Moore-Koslowsky
Jenny Moore-Koslowsky is an artist, singer, song-writer and architect of the imagination. She navigates her work
through allusions which are always mobile, questioning power relationships, disrupting balances and menacing
comfortable confidence.
She has recently participated in ‘Contested Ground’,2009, at 176/Zabludowicz Collection, London; and has
performed This is Impractical, for the exhibition ‘Gold&Delicious’, at The Apple Tree, London.
She is currently completing her MA in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College, London.
Justin Gainan
Justin Gainan’s practice is a continuous struggle with objects on the verge between uniqueness and rubble,
obsession and quietness.
Recent shows he has participated in include ‘The Shortest Short Story Ever Written,…’. 2008, FormContent,
London; and ‘ThirtyFive Hours’,2009, HFBK project space, Hamburg.
He is also completing his MA in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College, London.
