PIL & GALIA KOLLECTIV
Artist Talk Jun 19, 2013 7:00pm
Join us for an artist talk by duo Pil & Galia Kollectiv who are currently showing in PROJECT 02: Verging on the Absurd, the second in our new series of displays showcasing work by our Artist Members and guest artists.
Pil & Galia Kollectiv are concerned with the legacy of modernism, labour, leisure and collaboration, amongst other things. Their talk will draw on research for a recently completed PhD to discuss the relationship between art and politics in Dada and Surrealism. They will discuss artistic methodology and the use of the absurd as a political tool by these 20th century avant-garde groups and will look at art historical precedents for their work. The talk will be followed by a Q&A.
Verging on the Absurd examines the use of the absurd and surreal in contemporary art with works by artists Suzanne Mooney, Pil & Galia Kollectiv, Francesco Pedraglio, Heather Phillipson and Samara Scott. Exhibition runs until 28 June 2013. Open Tuesday – Friday, 11.00-17.00

Discussion with Graham Harman, Michelle Kasprzak, Kevin Love and Francis Halsall: 6.30pm
What does it mean to imagine that everything exists equally in the world, and that human beings have no more status than atoms or alpacas? Object-oriented ontology (“OOO”) puts things (rather than human beings, science or social relations) at the heart of studying what it means to exist. It is a new philosophical movement that has had
a decisive influence on the work of both artists and exhibition-makers. A discussion with philosopher Graham Harman, curator Michelle Kasprzak and lecturers Kevin Love and Francis Halsall will address implications for the artwork as object.

SARAH PIERCE : PERFORMANCE AND BOOK LAUNCH
Performance Jun 22, 2013 4:30pm
As a prelude to FTHo's forthcoming exhibition, The Mental Furniture Industry, Sarah Pierce presents the performance Campus, which emerges from Pierce's ongoing interest in the college campus as a space of community predicated on shifting levels of presence and participation.
The performance will be followed by the launch of Sketches of Universal History Compiled from Several Authors by Sarah Pierce an artist's book which presents an interplay of voices, legacies, friendships and influences that make up an art practice. Conceived from a period of collaboration between the artist, and curator and writer Rike Frank, the book contains newly commissioned essays by Melissa Gronlund and Tom Holert.
Sarah's performance will take place in the empty gallery space. The curtains remain as artworks: moving and moveable, structuring space of the exhibition and disappearing into decoration, shifting, pushed aside and blowing in the wind for the duration of the exhibition, The Mental Furniture Industry opening 28 June.
For this version of the performance Campus, Sarah Pierce will open the rehearsal to the public, beginning promptly at 4.30, followed by a book launch at 5.30

ODE TO NO. 6 | THE PITCH SISTERS LIVE, WITH SOUND ARTIST AIN BAILEY
Performance Jul 4, 2013 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Sound artist Ain Bailey, who colloborated with Sonia Boyce on Oh Adelaide performs two recent works.
Ode To No. 6, is a meditation on the ‘unheard' that exists within the artist's personal domestic space. The Pitch Sisters Live was originally composed as a multichannel response to a line contained in Leslie Thornton's film Peggy and Fred In Hell: The Prologue. What would a female sonic universe sound like, if we all vocally hung around an A flat below middle C? For this premiere performance, Bailey, together with four invited vocalists, will explore this question in a live context.
The installation Oh Adelaide is presented at Rivington Place as part of the exhibition Scat.

MOOCHIN' AND MESSIN' : BLACK BOTTOM DANCE WORKSHOP
Workshop Jul 17, 2013 7:00pm - 8:30pm
With Lindy Hopper Christine Checinska.
The Black Bottom originated in New Orleans during the 1900s, reaching popularity during the mid-late 1920s, competing with its close cousin, the Charleston. The dance allegedly got its name from Detroit's Black Bottom district, a predominantly black neighbourhood on the city's east side that spawned influential musicians and dancers who contributed to African-American vernacular cultural expressions like Blues, Big Band Swing and Jazz of the 1930s-1950s.
Taking inspiration from the artist Sonia Boyce's Oh Adelaide! (2013), and the Vitaphone Pepper Pot short: An All-Colored Vaudeville Show (1935), this workshop gives a taste of America's south, of smoke-filled, late night 'juke joints' of Prohibition.
Learn classic Black Bottom steps like the Mooch, the Mess Around and the Spank the Baby - all with a blues feeling.

ADAM PHILLIPS IN CONVERSATION WITH PAUL HOLDENGRÄBER
Talk Jul 26, 2013 8:00pm
A conversation between psychoanalyst Adam Phillips and Paul Holdengräber, Director of Public Programmes at The New York Public Library. Discussing Phillips’s most recent book, Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life, the conversation addresses growing up, frustration and the time spent imagining the ‘other life’ we could have lived. Phillips proposes that our acceptance of this frustration might itself be the key to leading a more satisfying life. This event offers audiences the unique chance to become a part of an ongoing dialogue between Phillips and Holdengräber that began earlier this year in New York as part of the LIVE from NYPL series.

JOHN STEZAKER
Artist Talk Sep 12, 2013 7:00pm
British artist John Stezaker discusses his work at the Contemporary Art Society.
John Stezaker uses collage to explore the subversive within found images such as film magazines, vintage postcards and illustrations. Fall XII and Fall XIII (both 1992) were recently bought for York Art Gallery through the Contemporary Art Society with support from the Art Fund and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.The male and female collages explore traditional artistic training such as anatomical study and life drawing, by referencing the source material of Arthur Thompson’s book Anatomy for Art Students, a core text for students at the Slade School of Art until the 1970s.
Fall XII and Fall XIII are on display at the Contemporary Art Society alongside a selection of other works from York Art Gallery’s collection.
