B Y O BEAMER


Yes, yes, more press release related laziness... but this is going to be smart. The idea is that a bunch of artists come along and project their art onto the walls. Last year it was at The Glue Factory, but they have moved round the corner to The Whiskey Bond.

The speed with which these artists reclaim unused space is astonishing. Let's see who we have this year...

ONE NIGHT EXHIBITION HOSTING OVER 30 ARTISTS AND THEIR PROJECTORS::

15th NOV 7PM - 1AM .
Following the success of last years event at the Glue Factory we have decided to stage another, bringing together a wide variety of local/international video art and other forms of projected image (e.g. gifs, live visuals, performance et c) in a multi-projection exhibition for one night only. The works will be presented floor-to-ceiling, in varying scales and throughout the multitude of spaces to create an immersive environment of imagery, colour and light. Artists have also been welcomed to work with site specific ideas whether it be projection mapping, installation and performance.

::ARTISTS::
ALEC MACKENZIE / JACK WRIGLEY (him off 85A and the secret gig at Sonica. Best known for Bucket over head and raw techno antics, with added dinosaurs and flashing lights: anarchic fun at its best) / ANNIE CRABTREE (has been known to mash up spoken word classics) / BEN SKEA ('My work primarily focuses on my interest in the cyclical, transformative nature of experience, memory and matter')/ CRISTINA GARRIGA / MOYRA CAMPBELL (previously the maid of honour at the Queen's wedding. I think my web searches are letting me down) / CRAIG JACKSON / ROSANNE DAVIDSON (Google search provided me with images of 2003 Miss World) / MARCO BIAGINI (former student of the world's worst Latin teacher) + JESSICA ARGO 

BRENDAN BENNETT / EWAN SINCLAIR (possible Gilbert and George influence in formal terms, content aims more for a post-psychedelic disorientation)  / AILSA MARGOT MACKENZIE (Cargo collective connected, has a work with cool name, Return to the Centaur) / EYEGRID / JASPER COPPES / KATIE SHAMBLES / JO TOMLINSON / CHRISTOPHER MACINNES  

ANDREW HOUSTON / HEATHER LANDER / BETH SHAPEERO / KIM STEWART / PAWET BIGNELL / PAUL SAAG / SCOTT CARUTH / PHILIPPA WALL (well worth checking out the play with fabrics and thread...) / NICK THOMAS (apparently co-owner of Qdos, who put on the pantomime with the Krankies in it. Either this is a bold new direction or I am making a sardonic appeal for artist biographies to be included in press releases) / ANDREAS FELIX TRITSCH / KORNELIA KLOKK / GUY VEALE (he did some work with Al Seed and Alex Rigg, which makes him alright by me. Well worth following his twitter, and has made some tracks that 'sound like Arvo Part played through a biscuit tin'. Which is good) / HANNAH EDWARD 

CALLUM MONTEITH (that is his exhibition in the picture) / JAMIE MCNEILL (possibly makes videos for bands? I am not sure, and I am armed only with Google here) / SHARON GRAHAM (wedding photographer? I think all artists ought to have names like Vile, so they are easy to find online...) / KRYSIA KORDECKI (found one! Connected to Cargo Publishing, digs electronic music)/ SARAH GLASS / SQUISH KIBOSH (does a radio show that seems to link to the wonder of Plunderphonics... but still throws down some heavy duty beats)


::LIVE MUSIC::
THE ORPHEUS CHOIR
Try looking them up on Google, and it becomes clear why Orpheus is a bad name for a choir. Then again, if this really is a proper choir and not a cheeky live art connected project, then the combination with the beamers and noise music will be special...
Man, these guys live up to their name. Noise meets drone meets soundscape fun.
