Who I'd like to meet: The International Curators Forum The ICF was established in 2006 as a space to question and negotiate ideas of diaspora, culture, art, politics and the role of the curator as a medium and interface between artists and audiences, a place where a new curatorial body can gather and identify itself before dispersing on a multiplicity of journeys.
An open and organic peer to peer network designed to connect ideas that have originated across the world with professional developments that are increasingly global but particular in their impact.
We're rocking our new dancefloor @ Atomic Cowboy this Saturday! 21+ $6 and now 18+ for $10. Dj Ashton with guest Dj Nick O! (London Calling) will be mixing up a storm. Hope to see you there!
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
