PRESS RELEASE
AGAIN, A TIME MACHINE – FINAL EVENT
THE ARTIST TALKS – PERFORMANCE AND
THE HAPPY HYPOCRITE – INTERVIEW
THE SHOWROOM
63 PENFOLD STREET
LONDON NW8 8PQ
5.00-8.30PM
For the final event for The Artist Talks, Sarah Pierce has choreographed an ‘artist’s talk’ with six London-based art students. Staged as a group performance and using props and the central stage from the installation, this short, revised speech draws on a text written in 1905 by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and the idea of the artist talk as a mode that all artists occupy; a mode where speech, gestures and archives coalesce, and documentation both anticipates and disturbs the finished work.
To conclude the exhibition The Happy Hypocrite – Interview, hosted by Maria Fusco, presents a series of short readingsby Apexa Patel, Barry Sykes, Sam Hasler, Nathaniel Pitt, Hanne Lippard, Jo Melvin, Anthony Iles and Stephen Sutcliffe.
