Urbanomic presents Late at Tate: THE REAL THING

Urbanomic presents performance, film and other interventions exploring the emerging philosophical paradigm of Speculative Realism and its impact on contemporary art practice. The evening will include:

Premieres of two new sound works commissioned by Urbanomic:
Speculative Solution by Florian Hecker (exploring conceptual themes from Quentin Meillassoux's After Finitude)
Extralinguistic Sequencing by William Bennett (Whitehouse) + Mimsy DeBlois.

Screenings of Amanda Beech's video work Sanity Assassin, a claustrophobic journey through Adorno's LA nightmares, drawing on Ray Brassier's Nihil Unbound.

Sculpture galleries invaded by Pamela Rosenkranz's work which opens a dialogue with Reza Negarestani's Cyclonopedia.

A collaborative curatorial intervention rethinking Art and the Sublime.

Panel discussion with Robin Mackay, Iain Hamilton Grant, Ray Brassier, Amanda Beech and Pamela Rosenkranz.

AURA SATZ | TURNTABLE TABLEAU at the ICA 9 May @ 5pm

Be great to see you all here if you can make it. The performance is part of the same programme at the ICA this Sunday. Fx

AURA SATZ | TURNTABLE TABLEAU, a film performance
Sun 9 May, 5pm ICA - Live Weekend 1 - Performance etc (produced by David Gryn)

Aura Satz presents a talking book ventriloquist act, followed by a live soundtrack to her film on gramophone grooves, performed by Lina Hakim, Roger Orwell, Frances Scott and Aura Satz. The hypnotic footage of spinning sound patterns is accompanied by a spiraling multivocal counterpart, a cornocupia of voices recounting a tale of mourning and technology, a forensic love-story of sorts in which the voices overlap, echo and pre-empt each other. The cinematic stage is animated by a voice-over carousel, a spinning tableau vivant, a canon of voices amplified by horns set on a rotating stage.

By Appointment at the ICA

By Appointment is a project offering unknown artists the opportunity to propose a one day exhibition at the Institute for Contemporary Art, London.

All submitted proposals will be exhibited at the ICA on the 9th May 2010 between 12 and 7pm as part of the first of the ICA’s Live Weekends, curated by David Gryn. Participating artists will be fully credited and are encouraged to join us at the ICA on 9th May to view the work, meet other contributing artists and to engage in an ongoing dialogue about the future of the artist and the institute.

The proposal must be under 150 words and may use any available public space at the ICA. We recommend you describe your project in as much detail as possible including its location in the building, medium/materials, what the work is about and perhaps even a budget for its installation if relevant.

Unknown artists (i.e. you must not currently be represented by an established gallery or have exhibited at the ICA before) wishing to participate in this project should email their 150 word proposal by 5pm on Friday 7th May 2010 to:

closebutnocigar@bigstring.com

Just email us to submit your proposal and add the ICA to your CV!

CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR are Nicholas Quenzer, Charlotte Turton and Chris Agnew
