Sunday 17 June / 2 - 5pm / Free Open File's 'Symposium' presents performance works that employ the form of the spoken lecture or presentation in order to explore its structure and workings, its conventions and its limitations. As an academic or social space used to share ideas and form connections between concepts, the symposium is a construct which uses a conversational format to disperse information. Artists include: Dave Charlesworth, Zac Gvi, Luke McCreadie, Jack Strange. Open File at MK Gallery will continue to explore the themes of these events though our online archive at openfile.org.uk, hosting an expansive array of additional supporting material along with documentation as the project progresses. | ||||||||||||||

| Posted: 03 Feb 2012 08:33 AM PST  Armchair Revolutionary Friday 1 June, 8.45pm Stage 2 Tickets £10 in advance, £12 on the door The disenfranchised masses of the world have risen against oppression, teamed up with technology, and fought for freedom. In a joke-packed show encompassing revolutions, economic idiocy, political and social upheaval at home and around the globe, a well-crafted Edith Piaf gag and some puns about dogs, Zaltzman taps his British coffee table in approval, and wonders if he'd have the cast-iron cojones to do likewise. Andy co-stars alongside John Oliver of hit podcast The Bugle, is a regular on BBC 5Live's 7 Day Sunday and a sporadic guest on Radio 4 and is ESPNCricinfo.com's leading cricket satirist.

| Friday Night Films at MK Gallery Posted: 29 May 2012 06:41 AM PDT 
My Dinner with Andre Dir. Louis Malle (Cert. 12, 110 mins) Selected by Olivia Plender Friday 1 June / 6.30pm / £5 (concessions £3) Pre-book on 01908 676 900 Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory, apparently playing themselves, share their lives over the course of an evening meal at a restaurant. Gregory, a theatre director from New York, is the more talkative of the pair. He relates to Shawn his tales of dropping out, traveling around the world, and experiencing the variety of ways people live, such as a monk who could balance his entire weight on his fingertips. Shawn listens avidly, but questions the value of Gregory's seeming abandonment of the pragmatic aspects of life. | ||||||||||||||

| Posted: 03 Feb 2012 04:12 AM PST  Sunday 3 June, 8pm Tickets £17.50 From the beginning, Iona's aim has been to write spiritual, atmospheric music that stirs the emotions, weaving complex patterns echoing the intricate knotwork of Celtic art. Often inspired by the great figures of the Celtic Golden Age such as Columba, Aidan, Brendan and Patrick, Iona's music is as timeless as the message that reaches out to us across the centuries. Combining rock, folk, progressive, ethnic and ambient elements with the crystalline voice of Joanne Hogg, Iona create a blaze of colours and textures, all the sounds fusing into a heartfelt, beautiful cry.
