27th September 2007 — 28th October 2007
There's
a lot happening in London this week, to put it mildly. Of course
there's Frieze Art Fair. Then its ever expanding spawn of imitators;
Year 07, Bridge, Zoo, Scope, Pulse, the Free Art Fair, the Affordable
Art Fair. As well as Bloomberg New Contemporaries and Pilot 3, the live
archive for artists and curators. The Frieze affect also means that
every gallery in London is competing to get the Frieze crowd to their
exhibitions.
Alma Enterprises are offering a unique programme of events this
weekend. 'One must be so careful these days' is an exciting exhibition
of new film and video works by Jennet Thomas, Eleanor Morgan, Yaron
Lapid, Charlie Tweed, Ludo Mich, Emanuel Almborg and Kieron Dennis.
Charlie Tweed's absurdist alter ego the 'Man From Below' makes himself
into a 'self sustainable system' and heads south to launch his
manifesto for 'going below'. Yaron Lapid's video installation 'The New
Zero' has been constructed from over five hundred photographs found by
the artist in a demolished photographer's studio in Jerusalem. Emanuel
Almborg's video installation 'The Other Man' is a factional portrait of
Blackpool Robert de Niro look-a-like Graham, intermingling his story
with a parallel narrative. The show also features newly commissioned
performances by Brian Catling, Thomas Altheimer and Kim Noble.
Performance Programme:
Friday 12 October, 2pm
Brian Catling: 'AWOL' Catling is a poet, sculptor and performance artist.
Friday 12 October, 6pm
Thomas Altheimer: An East London rally for his project 'Europe 08' 'The
European campaign to take over the White House in 2008 takes a break
from the American campaign trail to shore up financial support from
American ex-pats and Europeans in London. Thomas Altheimer, who
announced the ambitious campaign in Manhattan on the 4th of July this
year, is looking to back and assist a native-born American who will
pledge to run for president on a platform of European issues in 2008.'
Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 October 12 - 6pm
Kim Noble:
Multi-media performance 'There are quite a few things Kim Noble could
have done for his multimedia durational performance ... in the end he
decided he wanted to help the audience out in some way. Warning: this
performance contains an extract from The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis
and The News.'
