SUMMARY:ELEVENSES
DESCRIPTION:Elevenses is a group exhibition exploring ritual in all its forms. Since time immemorial\, ritual has been central to human life. Religion\, politics\, popular culture; all these are accretions of ritual built over varied and overlapping timescales\, conspiring to drive humanity forward\, producing novel social and cultural forms that we perceive as change. \nYet\, within living memory there has been an undeniable shift. With the development of communications technology\, and the rise of the internet\, ritual in the twenty-first century is networked to an absolutely unprecedented degree.  \nFrom ancient rituals which have taken new shape in the age of the internet\, to new rituals designed to alleviate the anxieties of life in the 21st century\, Five Fold have invited artists to share their experiences and observations of this uniquely human behaviour.  \nThrough their work\, and complemented by a series of workshops\, visitors to Elevenses will be led to ponder the place that ritual takes in their own lives\, and how it captures both the mundanity and wonder of being alive.” \n  \nThe artists are: \nHannah Aarow\, Ben Adamson\, Sharon Anatole\, Taja Lewis Boodie\, Yuma Burgess\, Luyin Cao\, Orla Carolin\, Sarah Catterall\, Jiayi Chen\, Leon Clowes\, Kofi Couston\, Ethan & Tom\, Elif Gonen\, Pietro Gorini\, Kandre Hassan\, Odie-Grace Kalu\, Julian Konuk\, Patricia Wanying Lolu\, Beth McAlester\, Kira McCarthy\, Cosima von Moreau\, Samuel Clarice Mui\, Okocha Obasi\, Devika Pararasasinghe\, Shunny & Taewan\, Sid & Jim\, Jack Sproston\, Rachel Stevenson\, Virginie Tan\, Todd Tourso\, Avery Worsley \nCurated by Five Fold \n

SUMMARY:@Disturbance 5
DESCRIPTION:( Press release audio described available bellow ) \nUgly Duck Bermondsey is excited to announce the first ever summer edition of @Disturbance\, taking place on Saturday June 22 & Sunday June 23. Following the success of previous programmes championing LGBTQIA+ performance\, video and digital artists\, @Disturbance makes maximum use of Ugly Duck’s Tanner Street location\, a former Victorian factory with multiple spaces. A surreal outdoor party will lead to an interactive indoor set\, full of wonder and the unexpected. \nJune’s live performances will be accompanied by a simultaneous online stream\, enabling audiences unable to travel to experience @Disturbance in full effect. @Disturbance remains committed to promoting accessibility and fostering a supportive and inclusive environmentfor radical\, diverse and queer artists. \n \nThis year\, @Disturbance features five artists: Alex Billingham\, Samiir Saunders\, Ace Rahman\, Kobi Essah Ayensuo and Ella Frost\, performing live and on giant video screens. @Distrubance is entirely artist-led and is curated by Deen Atger. Other contributions come courtesy of Mahalia Henry-Richards taking care of graphic design\, set designer Knives\, who has a film background will design the exterior installation and poet Oduenyi Nwike lending their multifaceted skills to @Disturbance as a key part of the team. \nUgly Duck Creative Director and founder of @Disturbance Deen Atger says: “This year we look forward to seeing our regular\, fabulous @Disturbance crowd as well as new audiences discovering our work. We’re partnering with disabled-led organisations Care-fuffle and Shape Arts to embark on a journey around accessibility. All artists will create new work where captioning\, audio description and BSL translation will not only be embedded but considered as the work is being created. By employing livestream\, projections and other technologies\, we aim to explore and learn what accessibility can mean and look like for artists and audiences. Through this edition of @Disturbance we question how to make this an integral part of the show\, rather than approaching it as an afterthought\, so that we can not only come together but show up for each other as a larger community.” \n@Disturbance 2024 promises to be an unforgettable journey into the realms of creativity identity\, and collective expression. \n \nMore about @Disturbance artists: \nSamiir Saunders from Birmingham brings their dynamic fusion of spoken word\, alternative hip hop and performance art to @Disturbance. Saunders’s multimedia poetry embodies a powerful narrative aiming to arm individuals and communities with the tools to be curious\, compassionate\, and vulnerable in their everyday lives\, often exploring themes such as grind culture\, isolation\, shame\, miscommunication\, intimacy\, and the internet. Samiir’s work has travelled both nationally and internationally featuring at Birmingham’s Ikon Gallery\, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery\, London’s Jerwood Space and Nottingham’s New Art Exchange amongst other arts spaces plus Channel 4 Random Acts\, BBC Words First\, Wales International Film Festival and more. \nKobi Essah Ayensuo is a London-based musician\, poet\, and creative polymath. Their output is imbued with themes of queer and trans Black identity\, coming of age\, Ghanaian heritage\, navigating relationships and reimagining and decolonising the lens with which Black history is told. Their soulful work often blends vocals\, harmonic soundscapes\, music and poetry. Kobi has been published by Ink Sweat and Tears\, South London Gallery\, Flipped Eye and Marques Almeida (for London Fashion Week 2020). They’ve performed at key venues and festivals such as Wilderness Festival\, Mighty Hoopla\, Tate Britain\, Roundhouse\, Barbican and Southbank Centre. They’re also a BBC Words First finalist\, a member of Soho Writers Lab and an alumnus of the Obsidian Foundation\, Barbican Young Poets and the Roundhouse Resident Artist programme. \nAlex Billingham’s practice is rooted in her personal journey as a disabled\, trans\, neurodiverse\, and queer individual. Alex’s work serves as a poignant reflection of how these identities intersect and intertwine with the broader societal landscape. Alex’s live performance will take place within an immersive environment using film\, installation and 3D. Alex has shown work at Baltic Gateshead\, New Art Gallery Walsall\, Manchester’s Contact Theatre and extensively across the UK and internationally. \nElla Frost is a visual artist working with video as part of their practice. Ella uses analogue technologies\, queer narratives\, and Black feminism as key elements. For @Disturbance\, Ella’s work will be shown via giant video screens. They have previously collaborated with key London nightlife organisations and shown their film ‘We Can’t Do This Alone’ at the Serpentine Gallery in 2022. Recently they were part of group show Membranes with Hypha Studio and directed the trailer for Out\, a highly regarded performance piece by artist Ray Young. \nAce Rahman is a British-Bangladeshi multidisciplinary artist and creator. Their ideas are expressed through a variety of mediums both digital and traditional and for @Disturbance Ace will build an immersive installation fusing organic materials\, mask-making\, fruits and sound\, taking place in this alternate universe of their own. They’ve studied graphic communication design\, augmented by a recent exploration into computing at the Creative Computing Institute. Rahman’s diverse skillset is reflected in their innovative approach to mediums ranging from traditional graphic arts to interactive digital installations. \nFor press inquiries\, contact Anna Goodman on 07976247026  // abstrakt@abstraktpublicity.co.uk \nAbout Ugly Duck \nLast year\, Ugly Duck celebrated a decade of revitalising underused buildings and supporting marginalised artists.
