Black Sun: Jim Hobbs & Rie Nakajima Thursday 14 February / 6.30pm - 8.30pm / Free Black Sun is the first collaborative project between Jim Hobbs and Rie Nakajima. Despite having two separate and distinct artistic practices, the two have come together to experiment with the potential interactions between each other’s work in sound, moving image, and space. Rie Nakajima considers sculpture as an experience. For this collaboration, in response to Hobbs’ film, Nakajima has created a work with dense, physical sound which uses an underlying, tonal track composed on a reed organ. The work express a physical and audial landscape, when paired with the Hobbs’ 16mm film installation, creates a situation that induces one to float between consciousness and sub-consciousness.
For the work presented at Milton Kynes, Nakajima will include an aspect of performance, where she will orchestrate a variety of objects and kinetics. In doing so, the space between image, sound and object is constantly collapsing and reforming, creating new boundaries as the work inhabits and shifts the environment in which it is set. |

| Tour of Duty & Asibi Asibi Girl, Stolen. Posted: 06 Feb 2013 10:49 PM PST  Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd February. 2 nights only.Tour of Duty and Asibi Asibi, Girl, Stolen. Yaw Asiyama is a writer director with a prolific pen. Tour of Duty is a man’s story. A story of true love which begins with duty. “It started as duty, but love took over.” Of course it has a great woman in it too. But it is a man’s story. A great man’s story. Asibi Asibi. Girl, Stolen. This is the tragic story of a trafficked girl from Ghana to England. Based on a real story, Asibi Asibi is a moving tribute to the women we turned a blind eye to. Whoever thinks slavery is over is truly a dreamer. He has a knack of finding the truly human story behind the façade we all conveniently hide behind. His works include, Miraculous, What Black Women Want, Me Marley and A Slave’s Story. Yaw describes himself as a storyteller and a feminist. He has a deep understanding of his female characters. Tour of Duty is a departure from his usual work. Still powerful and emotive, the central character, this time, is a man. Dad. “ I wrote this and wanted to wait for the right actor who would understand the central character. In comes Gary Calandro. |
