PERFORMANCES, WORKSHOP & EXHIBITION as part of MAKING THE LONG TAIL
Featuring:
Helen Mair ¬– Open Skies
As of 2016 there are over forty countries that have added physical barriers to guard their borders from neighbors. For residents of border towns with physical walls or fences, this division is constantly presents, part of their everyday. This installation reflects on the ways in which they share the same skies with ‘the other side’ but have only a fractured connection.
Grace Pappas, Oscar Warr and Albert Barbu ¬– The Right Arm
By acquiring a digital casting of a visitor’s arm and then presenting it inside a virtual space, our installation becomes a platform for interrogation into the relationship between a gallery’s collection and its visitors. Once an individual has agreed to donate their arm, a scan is made as part of a ritual symbolising the passage of death and the transition from a physical existence to a digital one. Visitors are able to look through our viewfinder and see themselves on display. This process of acquisition and curation not only blurs the lines between these two realities, but also aims to establish a more dialogical relationship between the public and the institution's collection.

Workshop 2pm-3pm:
Print.Cut.Shake led by Seo Hye Lee, Sarah Sajid and Anna Dakin
Inspired by the Dadaist poetry methods of Tristan Tzara, we will invite workshop participants to investigate the words, slogans, and text based information printed on the buildings and signs around White City. With these texts we will create our own unique poems to perform within the space on the closing night.
Performances 6pm-8pm, featuring:
