*********************************************************************************************** SAGS - Woodmill, Neckinger, Bermondsey, London SE16. Last ever show in beloved Woodmill studios. Here. 'Natural language[nach-er-uhl lang-gwij]' (curating) Vitrine Gallery and Shortwave Cinema, London. 31.3.11-26.4.11. Artists: Nicole Bachman; Cath Campbell and Miles Thurlow; Johanna Hallsten; Chris Grieves and Richard Battersby; Adrien Lee; Cary Leibowitz; Ant Macari; Linda Persson; Chris Shaw. At the opening event and preview: Screening of Pleasure School (2011) by Richard Battersby and Chris Grieves; a reading by Enda Deburca with a music score by Elvis McPhearson; a dubplate audio work by Josephine Wood and Natasha Rees and a performance directed by Fred Gehrig and performed by Johnny Callender, with an original score by Ronen Kozokaro. ‘Natural language[nach-er-uhl lang-gwij]’ picks at the intrinsic tendencies of language through an exhibition of works that incorporate text, verbal, and visual mediums. Emerging from the idea of language as a malleable system of complex registers - particularly correlations between written, aural and visual forms, works have been brought together in order to speculate the subtle ‘vice-versa’ current between these common affinities. Featuring audio, 3D, 2D, 4D, performance and published material, works collectively explore the abstract and often irradicable nature of the ways that language immerse into and transpire from narrative structure- in its widest sense. Artists have been invited to participate in the exhibition for their own investigations into language cross-hybridisations. The process by which artists engage with language based material will also be explored, whether as a structural strategy; as an instructive aspect or as a means to develop forms of deviance arising from socio/political discourse. Works presented in this exhibition have a link with fiction, autobiographies, political discourse/activity, critical theory, philosophy, psychoanalysis and music. In tandem with with the work in the gallery, guest speakers have been invited to talk formally around ensuing themes from the exhibition. We will also host a screening of artists moving image. April 9, 4pm-5.15pm, Shortwave Cinema - Including works by Adrian Lee; Mark Aerial Waller; Stuart Marshall; Liz Rhodes; Richard Battersby and a surround sound audio work by Johanna Hällsten. Event introduced by Naatsha Rees. -------------------------------------------------- FABRICATECSTACY - Studio 52; Hoxton Square, London N1. Ends: March 6 2011.
