Ultra-red : RE-ASSEMBLY

17 Apr-21 Apr 2013

Overview

The Serpentine Gallery's Edgware Road Project presents RE:ASSEMBLY, an exhibition by sound art collective Ultra-red with students and teachers from St Marylebone Church of England School in London. The outcome of four years' collaboration, the exhibition is presented as an opera that explores the school's wider community in the Edgware Road area. Through a series of installations and performances presented at several neighbourhood locations, including the school and the adjacent church, the show presents students' and teachers' experiences, the pressures they face at the school and in the local area and their vision for the future. An audio guide created by the students accompanies the exhibition to help visitors discover the area within the context of the students' understanding and local knowledge of the Edgware Road.
