Benjamin Franklin House 36 Craven Street London WC2N 5NF
Following
on from their sell out shows at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, The Red
Velvet Curtain Cult shall inhabit and haunt the Benjamin Franklin House
with site specific art, performance, film, oddities and happenings from
13 artists. Set in a Georgian house where layers of history unravel
from behind panelled walls and deep-set fireplaces whisper ashes of
deeds past, the artists will engage with and draw inspiration from the
history of the space, including its most famous inhabitant Benjamin
Franklin, he of keys and kites….
Expect spinning tops, glass
armonicas, trepanning games, story telling, ceremonial mythologies,
muffled whisperings, cyclical wanderings, all serenaded by the sound of
a haunting electric cello…
Curated by Lili Spain and Sarah Grainger-Jones

"Upon walking in to the Spitz, it was hard to believe that this wasn’t a filming of some Chris Morris satire of the art world. Onstage were two young men in thick-rimmed specs, sitting on opposite sides of a café table loaded with cups, glasses and a steaming pot of tea. A loud soundtrack of street noise and snatches of music was playing. One of the duo - BoyleAndShaw, according to the posters - was hammering percussively at an amplified typewriter on his lap, and occasionally passing paper to his thickly-bearded colleague, who was murmuring, ranting and occasionally chanting, monk-like into another microphone. After some twenty minutes of this, they stood up and the crowd applauded wildly." - Joe Muggs
